Advocacy, Policy and Public Health Resources

 

We speak for changes that could improve the lives of people with HIV and HCV in BC.

We respond to issues that affect health and social outcomes of the people served by our member organizations. With almost 50 member organizations across BC, we speak with a collective voice on issues that impact the health of people living with HIV and HCV.

These resources provide insight into individual and community social justice issues we value.
