about risk characteristics of cis women who access HIV self-tests in Canada. This study examines demographic characteristics, risk factors, and test results of cis women
who obtained HIV self-tests through the HIV self-testing platform, GetaKit.ca.

This resource provides information about the child
protection system in Toronto. Stigma and

discrimination, and poverty — affects the experience of
people who use substances involved with the child
protection system and makes it more difficult to access
the resources and support they need. This resource provides legal information for parents
who use substances that are involved with the child
protection system in Toronto, their loved ones, and
their service providers.
