At Thrive HIV Prevention & Support, we work toward a future where new HIV, hepatitis C, and sexually-transmitted or blood-borne infections are rare in Waterloo Region and Guelph-Wellington.

 Through responsive programming and multi-sectoral collaboration, Thrive will:

  • work towards the reduction of HIV, hepatitis C, and other sexually-transmitted and blood-borne infections in Waterloo Region;
  • address the social determinants of health that create stigma, discrimination, and vulnerability for our service users; and 
  • provide excellent HIV care and support to individuals, families and most-affected communities.
