Action positive VIH/sida

One of Toronto's youngest AIDS organizations, "Action positive VIH/sida" is nonetheless very dynamic! The volunteers and staff are passionate about ensuring that Francophones living with HIV/AIDS receive culturally-appropriate services that meet their individual and collective needs. In addition to participating in general prevention efforts, Action positive VIH/sida provides individual support that includes: language facilitation, a personal and confidential sounding board, plus information about existing services in a range of agencies and groups. Action positive VIH/sida also organizes group activities such as monthly men's and women's meetings, workshops, information sessions, practical assistance as well as a range of social, cultural and recreational activities "en français". Action positive VIH/sida's services are available to all French-speaking people who are living with HIV, affected by the disease or at risk of being infected.

Action positive VIH/sida hosts office hours at PWA each Monday from 1:30pm - 5:30pm in our Community Liaison office and will help both agencies reach out to and support HIV+ French speaking Torontonians.

CAAT

The Committee for Accessible AIDS Treatment (CAAT) is a coalition of more than 30 Ontario based organizations from the legal, health, settlement and HIV/AIDS sectors. It was formed in 1999 to improve treatment and service access for marginalized people with HIV/AIDS. Since its inception, CAAT has been at the forefront of education, research, service coordination and advocacy on issues related to HIV, immigration and access.

For more information, see the CAAT brochure, and visit the CAAT website.

Criminal Law + HIV Exposure

The Ontario Working Group on Criminal Law and HIV Exposure came together in 2007 to oppose the expansive use of the criminal law to address behaviours that risk HIV transmission. We come from community-based AIDS organizations. We support a comprehensive evaluation of how Canada’s criminal law is being applied in Ontario with respect to HIV-related issues. We advocate for sound policy responses to HIV prevention and transmission based on the best available evidence, the objectives of HIV prevention, care, treatment and support, and respect for the human rights of all.

McEwan Housing & Support Services

PWA is excited to have several staff from McEwan Housing & Support Services sharing office space at 200 Gerrard Street East.

It is the only housing program in Ontario dedicated to serving this highly vulnerable population, and one of only a very few in the world.
