Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP) HIV/AIDS is spreading quickly in Toronto’s Black communities and we believe that our work is more important than ever.

Black CAP is an organization that works to reduce HIV/AIDS in Toronto’s Black, African and Caribbean communities and enhance the quality of life of people living with HIV. Black CAP is an organization that works to reduce HIV/AIDS in Toronto’s Black, African and Caribbean communities and enhance the quality of life of Black people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. At this time, Black, African and Caribbean people account for more than one-fifth of all new HIV infections in Toronto, in the early nineties we made up only one-tenth of new HIV infections. Issues of HIV related stigma and discrimination, homophobia, anti-Black racism, immigration, poverty, and barriers to social inclusion also continue to make our work harder.

Our Story

Since 1989, the Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP) has worked to respond to the threat of HIV and AIDS in Toronto’s African, Caribbean and Black communities. Our work is guided by our motto, ‘Because All Black People’s Lives Are Important’, which serves as a reminder of our commitment to the human rights and dignity of all Black people who are vulnerable to HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

The reality is that more Black, African and Caribbean people are living with HIV and AIDS than ever. At this time about 1 in 5 people living with HIV in Ontario are African, Caribbean or Black, yet we make up 1 in 20 of Ontario’s overall population. Black CAP is an important resource for the thousands of Black people in Toronto living with, or at risk for, HIV, AIDS and STIs.

Black CAP is Canada’s largest Black specific AIDS service organization. Our volunteer Board provides oversight and leadership, while our staff deliver programs and services that helps us meet our mission to:


  • Reduce the spread of HIV infection within Toronto’s Black communities
