HIV prevention in African, Caribbean and Black communities

This webinar series is delivered in partnership with the African and Caribbean Council on HIV/AIDS in Ontario (ACCHO), Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP) and Africans in Partnership Against AIDS (APAA).

African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) people in Canada experience disproportionately high rates of HIV due to intersecting social and structural determinants of health and a lack of culturally relevant services along the HIV continuum of prevention, testing, treatment and care. This is further exacerbated by HIV-related stigma and discrimination toward communities affected by HIV.

To address these systemic barriers and improve the health and well-being of ACB people, programs are needed that remove structural barriers and support HIV testing and prevention services. Recognizing this urgent need, several organizations joined strengths to collaborate on a webinar series, addressing obstacles that limit Black communities’ ability to fully benefit from available HIV prevention strategies.

This webinar series brings together experts to discuss HIV stigma, anti-Black racism and the needs of African, Caribbean and Black communities. It explores the current landscape of HIV prevention strategies, including PrEP uptake, and highlights collaborative approaches to closing gaps in HIV prevention for ACB communities.

Understanding drivers of HIV in African, Caribbean and Black communities
This is the first webinar in a series on HIV prevention in African, Caribbean, and Black communities, presented in partnership with ACCHO, Black CAP and APAA. This panel discussion with leading experts explores how social and structural factors, including anti-Black racism and HIV stigma create inequities in HIV outcomes for African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) communities. Participants will also learn about broader drivers of HIV risk for ACB communities across the country, and what they can do to address them.

Mobilizing PrEP uptake among African, Caribbean and Black communities
This is the third webinar in a series delivered in partnership with the African and Caribbean Council on HIV/AIDS in Ontario (ACCHO), Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP) and Africans in Partnership Against AIDS (APAA). Join us for a curated panel discussion on HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake in African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) communities. Experts explore systemic barriers to PrEP access, as well as opportunities and considerations for ACB-led outreach, education and programming. Participants gain valuable insights into strategies for raising PrEP awareness among clients at increased systemic risk of HIV and ACB-led efforts to mobilize PrEP as an HIV prevention tool.
