Toronto People With AIDS Foundation
Making a Positive Difference
Since 1987, PWA has been helping men, transmen, transwomen, women and children living with HIV/AIDS. Our response is inspired by the voices and experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS.
The Toronto People With AIDS Foundation offers a welcoming space to connect with others, access practical support services, and get assistance to navigate the sometimes complex system of care required.
The Toronto People With AIDS Foundation exists to promote the health and well-being of all people living with HIV/AIDS by providing accessible, direct and practical support services.
The Toronto People With AIDS Foundation is the largest direct support service agency for people living with HIV/AIDS in Canada. We hope you'll find the information you're looking for on this website, or through our links. If you need any assistance, contact us.

PWA position paper: Treatment as Prevention
July 2010 International AIDS conference: Former US President Bill Clinton told the Vienna conference that it's time to secure sustainable funding for the global response to AIDS. In a generally up-beat speech, President Clinton highlighted increased funding of HIV treatment, care and prevention over the past decade, and said that he was "thrilled" by falls in HIV prevalence amongst young South African women. However, he stressed that much still needed to be done - only one-third of those people eligible for life-saving HIV treatment are actually receiving it.
