This collaborative approach to providing diverse, innovative and practical support services for women (trans-inclusive) living with HIV/AIDS in Toronto is a consortium of five AIDS service organizations including: AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT), Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP), PASAN, PWA, and The Teresa Group. The Peer Support Program, which is housed in PWA, builds on the benefits experienced by women living with HIV/AIDS giving and receiving support from each other.
