About ACT: Founded in 1983, the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT) provides programs and services to people living with, affected by, and at risk for HIV/AIDS.

25 years into the pandemic, there is still a need for action. Every day, two people are newly infected with HIV in Toronto. ACT provides support services to meet the needs of the growing number of people in our community living with HIV/AIDS. We also do community outreach and education to stop the spread of the virus.
