Since 1983 ACT developed programs and services that responded to the changing needs of the communities it served.
ACT provided support services that empower men, women and youth living with HIV to achieve self-determination, informed decision-making, independence, and overall well-being. This was done through programs such as counselling, information provision, social support activities and programs that help people with HIV return to work.
ACT worked with gay men, women and youth to increase their knowledge, skills and resilience in the face of HIV, and reduce HIV transmission. We worked with our communities to develop information about HIV, provide outreach and education and create opportunities for community members to increase their skills.
The AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT) closed on March 31, 2026, following the decision by our Board of Directors that the organization is no longer financially viable. This decision comes after 42 years of serving the community. Please note that resources may contain information that is out-of-date as they are no longer being reviewed or updated.
