As World AIDS Day passed, we have been reflecting on the history of HIV in Canada, how far we’ve come, and how much work still lies ahead.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support CATIE, Canada’s source for HIV and hepatitis C information, in leading a national conversation on the state of HIV today.
