New funding and additional supports will be available to combat HIV and other STIs, announced the Manitoba government on World Aids Day
The Manitoba government announced new supports for HIV care on Friday, coinciding with World AIDS Day — including the creation of an Indigenous-led mobile service for homeless Manitobans and a research grant in memory of a doctor who treated HIV/AIDS patients at the height of the crisis.
The Manitoba government is making nearly $800,000 in community investments to help stop the rising rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI).
The Manitoba HIV Program and Nine Circles Community Health Centre hope the new provincial government will respond more quickly to rising rates of HIV than the outgoing administration.
