However, HIV/AIDS has deeply affected, and continues to affect, many different communities in Canada. This includes gay, bisexual and queer men, who are still disproportionately affected by the pandemic, as well as women, Indigenous people, transgender people and African, Caribbean and Black people, who are often overlooked in HIV policies and histories. People who live at the intersections of marginalized communities face unique barriers. As multidisciplinary HIV researchers, we know how important it is to continue learning from these histories to improve HIV treatment, support and prevention efforts today. So far, we have conducted 116 oral history interviews with long-term survivors of HIV and their caregivers in British Columbia between 2017 and 2020 as part of the community-based HIV In My Day project. These interviews will soon be available in a publicly accessible digital archive.
