At the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation, every day is an inspiring reminder of what we can achieve by providing HIV treatment and other supports for people whose lives are impacted by HIV/AIDS and the additional challenges of addiction, mental illness, poverty and discrimination.

We believe everyone deserves respect, dignity and a sense of belonging in the community in which they live. We take seriously our responsibility to care for, accept and include all people living with HIV/AIDS who are most in need. Each day, we provide a space and place for them to experience the kind of humanity to which all of us have a right.

“Humanity is the space where those who limp through time, far out in the shadows and beyond the margins of respectability, status, privilege, and power, are brought into the light of honour, rights, peace and dignity. - Dr. David Roy, Injection Drug Use and HIV/AIDS: Legal and Ethical Issues. Background Papers, Ottawa: Health Canada, 1999.
