The Government of Canada is committed to working with partners and stakeholders across the country in support of the global goal of reducing the public health impacts of viral hepatitis, HIV and other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) by 2030. The contribution of community-based organizations is central to Canada’s ability to achieve these targets.
The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Health, announced $18.1 million through the HIV and Hepatitis C Community Action Fund (CAF) and the Harm Reduction Fund (HRF) for 23 projects to support the work of community-based organizations addressing HIV, hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI). STBBI are preventable, treatable and in many cases curable. However, these infections remain a significant public health concern in Canada and around the world.
