Description:

HIV-testing and knowing your status is an important component of HIV prevention, however, self-initiated testing levels are low despite efforts to promote testing. In Toronto, African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) women are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. We are proposing to develop a community based HIV testing program that takes HIV testing out of clinics and brings HIV testing to community events and organizations.
