Core offering

Africans in Partnership Against AIDS (APAA) is a community-based Canadian non-profit charitable organization that delivers culturally and linguistically appropriate HIV/AIDS education, prevention, support, and community development programs to African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) communities in the greater Toronto area. Its offerings include HIV awareness and outreach, peer-led support circles (e.g., My Brother's Keeper for heterosexual men), faith-aligned gender-targeted programs (Project M for Muslim girls aged 14–29), research, and capacity-building for community decision-making.

Product overview

APAA is a community-based, charitable AIDS service organization offering a portfolio of culturally appropriate programs and services targeting African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) communities in Toronto. The organization operates as a unified service model comprising six interconnected programs: Support Services (HIV awareness and education), Community Development (capacity building through networks and training), Research (evidence-based HIV/AIDS prevention strategies), Prevention Program (linguistically and culturally tailored outreach and resources), Project M (targeted outreach for Muslim girls aged 14-29), and the Heterosexual Men's Group/My Brother's Keeper support circle for HIV-positive ACB heterosexual men. These programs collectively work to address HIV/AIDS prevention, support, and community empowerment through culturally responsive approaches.

• Toronto HIV/AIDS Network (THN): Toronto network of AIDS service organizations, HIV programs, PHAs and community members. APAA is a member; comparable as a coordinating body in the same local HIV/AIDS ecosystem.
• Women's Health in Women's Hands (WHIWH): Toronto community health centre providing primary healthcare to racialized women from African, Black, Caribbean and other communities. Comparable geographic and demographic focus, with overlapping health-equity and culturally responsive service model.
