Hi Toronto People With,

PWA Financial Assistance Guidelines: April 1, 2024 - March 31, 2025

PWA’s Financial Assistance program helps to support the health and wellness of people living with HIV/AIDS and aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with living with HIV/AIDS.

 

PWA strives to provide equitable programming for all PWA community members within limited resources. To this end, all requests for Financial Assistance must fall within the stated guidelines. Requests that do not meet these guidelines will not be considered. These guidelines reflect anticipated revenues and are subject to change without notice. In order to access this program, community members must provide written verification of their HIV status, live in the City of Toronto and have a postal code that starts with the letter M. Requests that cannot be granted in full will not be considered for future reimbursement.

DoxyPEP to Prevent STIs


STIs affect men who have sex with men (MSM) and trans women more than other populations. Contracting an STI also results in an elevated risk of contracting HIV if you are in this group.

Our Babies Our Grief- Older LGBTQ+ Population Survey

Thank you for checking out our survey. Please note that we are looking for participants who are 55+ years old, who currently identify as being a part of the LGBTQ+ community and who, at some point in their lives, experienced the loss of a pregnancy or infant who was younger than two years old 


The goal of our research is to understand the lived experiences and needs of participants who experienced infant or pregnancy loss decades ago, when they likely did not have access to appropriate support. This information will be used to tailor our current Our Babies, Our Grief infant and pregnancy loss progressive healing group to be better suited to LGBTQ+ older adults.

 

We are thrilled to announce the release of our Safe Injection video as part of the Linking Lives to Care Campaign. This initiative aims to promote health, safety, and awareness within our communities.
