The Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention

Founded in 1989, the Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP) has worked to meet its mission in our Black communities. Our work is also guided by our motto, ‘Because All Black People’s Lives Are Important’, and it stands as a reminder of the importance of our commitment to our community. The Mission of Black CAP is to:

• Reduce the spread of HIV infection within Toronto’s Black communities

• Enhance the quality of life of people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS

Black CAP is an organization that works to reduce HIV/AIDS in Toronto’s Black, African and Caribbean communities and enhance the quality of life of Black people living with or aff­ected by HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS is spreading quickly in Toronto’s Black communities and we believe that our work is more important than ever.

As we enter our 29th year of serving Toronto’s Black, African and Caribbean communities we must acknowledge how far we’ve come and celebrate the impact of Black CAP’s important work. We’ve helped thousands of people who struggle with the realities of living with HIV through times of stigma and struggle. We’ve also prevented thousands of HIV infections and demonstrated an unyielding commitment to our motto: Because All Black People’s Lives are Important. We hope you will get involved in our work because it is clear that we have so much more to do before we reach the end of the HIV epidemic.
