Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP) HIV/AIDS is spreading quickly in Toronto’s Black communities and we believe that our work is more important than ever.

Black CAP is an organization that works to reduce HIV/AIDS in Toronto’s Black, African and Caribbean communities and enhance the quality of life of people living with HIV. Black CAP is an organization that works to reduce HIV/AIDS in Toronto’s Black, African and Caribbean communities and enhance the quality of life of Black people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. At this time, Black, African and Caribbean people account for more than one-fifth of all new HIV infections in Toronto, in the early nineties we made up only one-tenth of new HIV infections. Issues of HIV related stigma and discrimination, homophobia, anti-Black racism, immigration, poverty, and barriers to social inclusion also continue to make our work harder.

On September 27, Black CAP’s Outreach Programs Manager, Táleah Chandler, joined Irene Reilly from Flags of Hope at Word on the Street’s 36th Annual Festival, supporting the space by providing Naloxone. 💜

Irene is the author of “OHANA: Love, Grief and Hope in the Time of the Opioid Crisis,” a powerful and deeply personal book that shares her journey as a mother navigating loss, love, and resilience through her son’s experience with opioid addiction. Her story is a moving reminder of the strength of community, the power of advocacy, and the importance of compassion in the face of crisis.

At Black CAP, we’re proud to stand alongside partners and community advocates like Irene—working together to support healing, raise awareness, and build hope.

As we wrap up International Men’s Day 2025, we’re looking ahead to a future where Black men prioritize joy, wellness, and possibility. 💙

Our 2026 Black Men’s Bucket List Challenge offers meaningful tasks to challenge yourself with in the new year, encouraging men to dream bigger, care for their mental and physical health, pour into themselves, and build the lives they deserve one intentional step at a time.

Whether it’s traveling somewhere new, taking a mental health day, making healthier choices, moving your body, or investing in a passion, choose YOU this year.

Use this checklist or follow it as a guide in creating your own and share it with a brother, friend, or family member to keep each other accountable. Growth is better in community. 🖤

Closing out the International Men’s Day 2025 Wellness Campaign with intention and purpose.

Today at Black CAP, we pause to honour the trans and non-binary lives lost to anti-trans violence.
Every star, every name, every story reminds us of the love, brilliance, and possibility that was taken too soon.

May we hold their memories with tenderness.
May we protect and uplift those who are still here.
May we continue building communities rooted in safety, affirmation, and care.

To every trans and non-binary person in our community:
You belong here. Your life is precious. Your presence matters.

Trans Day of Remembrance 2025
You are always remembered. You are always valued. You are always held.💙💗🤍

Our Story

Since 1989, the Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP) has worked to respond to the threat of HIV and AIDS in Toronto’s African, Caribbean and Black communities. Our work is guided by our motto, ‘Because All Black People’s Lives Are Important’, which serves as a reminder of our commitment to the human rights and dignity of all Black people who are vulnerable to HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

The reality is that more Black, African and Caribbean people are living with HIV and AIDS than ever. At this time about 1 in 5 people living with HIV in Ontario are African, Caribbean or Black, yet we make up 1 in 20 of Ontario’s overall population. Black CAP is an important resource for the thousands of Black people in Toronto living with, or at risk for, HIV, AIDS and STIs.

Black CAP is Canada’s largest Black specific AIDS service organization. Our volunteer Board provides oversight and leadership, while our staff deliver programs and services that helps us meet our mission to:


  • Reduce the spread of HIV infection within Toronto’s Black communities
