Portail VIH/sida du Québec Inc.

Published purpose

Through this 24-month project, the Portail VIH/sida du Québec will address 2SLGBTQI+ communities’ needs and barriers to equality. To achieve this, the organization will conduct a literature review on sex education in Quebec, focusing on issues surrounding HIV, sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs), and inclusivity in connection with 2SLGBTQI+ realities. They will produce, record, and promote a series of documentary podcasts on the topic, and they will include a diversity of voices and experiences. They will develop a new workshop to promote more inclusive sex education and then deliver it for free to parents, educators, healthcare professionals, and community partners across the province. They will also develop additional tools to bolster the inclusion of 2SLGBTQI+ youth in sex education and HIV and STBBI prevention, and they will use various communication channels to ensure the target audience can access and use these tools.
