Founded in 1983 as the AIDS Committee of Toronto, ACT is now a leader in efforts to end HIV in Toronto. Through HIV and sexual health education, prevention, outreach and mental health supports, we are working towards our vision of a city with zero new HIV infections, zero HIV-related stigma and discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths.

ACT works to reduce new HIV infections in Toronto and promotes the independence, dignity, health and well-being of people living with HIV and AIDS and those at increased risk of HIV.

ACT launched HIVnow in June of 2015 as an opportunity to engage gay, bi, and queer men in meaningful discussions about the changing reality of HIV in Toronto. The original website (HIVnow.ca) included up to date information about: PrEP, undetectable viral load, HIV testing guidelines, and criminalization of HIV non-disclosure.

In 2023, ACT’s outreach team conducted a complete overhaul of HIVnow to update the website with new information. We will continue to monitor emerging trends and update the website accordingly. It is our goal that HIVnow is a comprehensive resource for information about PrEP and U=U.

ACT would like to say thank you to the MAC AIDS Foundation and all our community partners who helped develop this resource:
