On Friday, March 21, the OHTN hosted a Think Tank which was structured around the continuum of care of 2SGBTQ+ methamphetamine use: prevention, harm reduction, and treatment. The evening prior, the OHTN hosted a vibrant social networking event, allowing attendees to connect, share their expertise, and
foster collaborations across sectors.

Each session encouraged attendees to explore ways to strengthen the continuum of care, and identify opportunities for research, programs, and advocacy. The day was structured around three key sessions focused on the continuum of care: prevention, harm reduction, and treatment. Each session featured expert speakers who offered valuable insights, followed by small group discussions that encouraged attendees to explore ways to strengthen the continuum of care, and identify opportunities for research, programs, and advocacy.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who attended and contributed to making this event a success, including our sponsors, Gilead and ViiV, as well as the staff at the Hilton DoubleTree and Encore Canada.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. OHTN's Asya Gündüz shares thoughts on gender-affirming STBBI care and some of the challenges faced by marginalized trans communities. Swipe left for a Q&A, based on a blog post she wrote for CATIE.

This is a day to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people, while also drawing attention to the disproportionate levels of poverty, discrimination, and violence the community faces compared to cisgender people.

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is “Accelerate Action,” emphasizing the need for strategies and tools that drive women’s progress in education, employment and leadership. One important aspect of accelerating action is creating a welcoming space that builds inclusive communities and fosters connections. WHAI’s toolkit, Women, HIV & Stigma: A Toolkit for Creating Welcoming Spaces provides practical tips, tools and strategies to help community organizations build these spaces for women living with and affected by HIV.

Our Vision

HIV affects individuals and their communities. Our vision is communities thriving now and beyond HIV.

In Ontario, HIV/AIDS has had a particularly devastating effect on gay men as well as men and women who inject drugs and those who are members of Ontario’s African Caribbean and Black communities and Indigenous communities. Through our work, we strive to support these communities’ efforts to live and thrive with HIV, and to see beyond HIV so they can prosper in all aspects of their lives.

People living with HIV are an essential part of our network. They drive our capacity to imagine thriving beyond HIV. Their knowledge and experience provide a more accurate picture of the challenges and helps us find more effective and feasible solutions. People living with HIV are part of our leadership; it is their right to participate in decision-making that affects their lives and health. Learn more about our commitment to the greater involvement of people living with HIV.

The OHTN operates on the traditional lands of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, the Petun, and the Mississauga’s of the New Credit First Nation, and we acknowledge the Métis and Inuit relatives as well. This meeting place has been the home to many Indigenous people for thousands of years and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
