Kimamow Atoskanow Foundation (KAF)
We are entering a new stage in HIV prevention, care, and support within Alberta and across Canada. We attended the AIDS 2022 conference in Montreal, Quebec held in July 2022. The federal minister of health announced there would be increased access to HIV self-testing technology for Canadians.
This update is to advise that HIV self-test kits will be distributed the week of November 21, 2022, to numerous community-based organizations in Canada. To respond appropriately to the availability of this technology to Indigenous Peoples we have organized a training and dialogue gathering on November 30, 2022, in Edmonton, Alberta. This will be followed by the World AIDS Day Forum on December 1, 2022.
To ensure we have good follow-up and connections to HIV care we are seeking advice on the best way forward. If you are able to assist in this significant work, contact us and join us as we “Take it Personally”.
