Gay Men's Programs
ACT is committed to developing HIV prevention, sexual health promotion and support services for gay and bisexual men.
We’re here for gay and bisexual men who are HIV-positive, HIV-negative, for men who don't know their HIV status, and for men who know someone living with HIV/AIDS.
If you're living with HIV/AIDS, ACT provides lots of information and support services to help you live better with HIV/AIDS.
If you don't have HIV or you’ve never been tested for HIV, ACT is here for you, too. We offer information and services to help you avoid infection with HIV.
More than 25 locations in gay community spaces offer ACT’s wide selection of information resources. Pick up resources. Find out what’s going on in the community. Now that’s what you call one-stop shopping! Call 416-340-8484 ext. 254 to find out more.
Spring into action by helping us put together a variety of safer sex packs for community distribution. We offer refreshments, food, and feature the annual Condom Stuffing Idol Contest, occasional door prizes and special guests. No need to register — just show up!
