HIV/AIDS & SEXUAL HEALTH SERVICES
*New Program Alert* Empowered by PrEP Pop-Up Clinic
The Empowered by PrEP Pop-Up Clinic is a low-barrier, community-centered initiative designed to increase access to HIV prevention for Black and other racialized women, trans, and non-binary people. Delivered in partnership with The PrEP Clinic, this program offers culturally responsive, gender-affirming support, including PrEP education, assessment, and prescribing in a welcoming and stigma-free space. PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a powerful HIV prevention option that you can take on your terms. When used as prescribed, it can reduce the chance of getting HIV from sex by up to 99%.
Alongside the clinic, we host a fun, interactive, and educational community drop-in space where you can connect, learn, and engage in conversations about sexual health in a relaxed environment. Food and refreshments are provided, and TTC Presto tickets are available to support transportation access.
Our team is here to support you whether you are just looking for more information or want to get started on PrEP.
Our upcoming pop-up clinic dates are:
- Friday May 8th, 2026, 12:00pm – 4:00pm
- Friday, May 29th, 2026, 12:00pm – 4:00pm
- Friday, June 26th, 2026, from 12:00pm – 4:00pm.
