The A/C Study (2018–2019) was a significant community-based research initiative conducted in Toronto and Ottawa, aimed at mapping the prevalence of HIV among Black residents. The findings from this study provided essential data that helped shape provincial policies and practices related to HIV.

We are now excited to announce the launch of the second iteration of this important study, and we invite you to participate. Your involvement will be crucial in obtaining an updated understanding of the current HIV burden in Toronto, especially within Black communities.
