HIV is on the rise – and it affects everyone.

Indigenous, African, Caribbean and Black communities, racialized women and people who inject substances are all overrepresented in Canada’s HIV epidemic.

This , we’re joining and advocating for a national HIV strategy so we can support all people living with and affected by HIV. Learn more at CANFAR.com.

Every four hours, someone in Canada is diagnosed with HIV. But almost half of Canadians don’t know that HIV rates have increased in the last five years.

Health inequities fuel the epidemic and create barriers for people to access HIV testing and medication.

Health is a human right.

Whether positive, negative, or unknown, each one of us has an HIV status.

Knowing your status is a way to take control of your health, protect yourself, your partners and your community, and access treatment or prevention options early.

This , we’re joining & in the ‘Do you see me?’ campaign – advocating for everyone to see the person, not the status. Explore & learn more at CANFAR.com.

Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day (NHAAD) is observed each year on September 18 to focus on the increasing number of people who, because of major advancements in HIV treatment, are living long, full lives with HIV. The awareness day also calls attention to the unique health and social needs, as well as the challenges of HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care among people who are aging.

We @ theteresagroup were sad to hear about the closure of the AIDS Committee of Toronto. ACT has been a leader in the community, an example of care, advocacy, and support for people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.

The shared commitments to the communities we serve has been as an example to all and has been reflected in partnerships with fellow HIV agencies and many community partners over the many decades they served.

Thank you for the work of staff and volunteers who stayed the course and fought for access to healthcare and created space for people to come together and get the supports.
