HIV Today

When Princess Diana visited Toronto’s Casey House in 1991, it marked a turning point for how HIV was viewed around the world. Casey House, a specialty hospital in Toronto providing care for those living with, and at risk of, HIV garnered international attention. Canadians have come a long way in our understanding of both the medical and social aspects of HIV, and there is still work to be done.
