About Us

For over 24 years, The AIDS Network has been the primary voice for HIV/AIDS prevention for 1.8 million people throughout the regions of Hamilton, Halton, Haldimand, Norfolk and Brant. We are the only organization offering HIV/AIDS services and support programs to men, women, children and families in these communities.

The AIDS Network is partially funded by The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care's AIDS Bureau and the Public Health of Canada's AIDS Community Action Program. The remainder of the programs and services are funded through special events and the generous support of the community. Without your support, we'd be unable to provide the wide range of programs and services that we offer. With 1,170 people living with HIV/AIDS in our community, and three new HIV infections each week, community support is vital.

Our mission is simple: to provide education and awareness of HIV/AIDS and support those whose lives have been affected by HIV/AIDS. The AIDS Network believes in a world that is free of HIV/AIDS and we promote the importance of prevention and the quality of life for all people living with HIV/AIDS. Our vision is to see an end to the HIV epidemic, and to help people living with HIV/AIDS become informed, accepted and self-determined. We also believe a community-wide response to HIV is essential to reducing it's impact.
