The A/C Study (2018–2019) was a community-based research project in Toronto and Ottawa that mapped the prevalence of HIV among Black residents, providing critical data to inform provincial policy and practice. We are now launching the second iteration of this study and would like you to participate! Your organization’s involvement with Black community will be foundational to securing an updated understanding of the current burden of HIV in Toronto.

If you would like to participate or have any questions please reach out to Hannah Zuta (Study Coordinator) at [email protected] to provide your email or phone number.
