We Are

The Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention (ASAAP) provides HIV/AIDS, sexual health and support services for South Asians in Toronto and surrounding regions. 

Our Work

We focus on three main programs areas:

1. Support for People Living with HIV/AIDS through peer counselling, peer support networks, referrals and treatment information

2. Education around HIV/AIDS and sexual health through workshops, resource development and outreach

3. Community development through volunteerism, arts-based engagement, communications and community based research

Our work is grounded in principles of anti-oppression and GIPA/MIPA (the Greater and Meaningful Involvement of People living with HIV/AIDS). We also acknowledge the many social determinants of health such as racism, gender equity, housing, violence, mental health and employment and affect people's health choices and circumstances.

We are always learning, growing and building strong partnerships with organizations & people.
