Treatment Resources
Information about HIV treatment options is critical for people living with HIV/AIDS. The Toronto People With AIDS Foundation (PWA) Treatment Resources Program produces easy-to-read booklets, conduct workshops and provide confidential consultation about treatment options in person and over the phone. We also advocate with government agencies and drug companies to help improve medical care for people living with HIV/AIDS.
If you have any questions about treatment or any of these services, contact our Treatment Resources Coordinator.
