MB HIV-STBBI Collective Impact Network

CINetwork brings together a diverse array of people from across Manitoba to understand and develop solutions to address HIV-STBBI complex system issues.

Social Innovation Generation:

The MB HIV-STBBI Collective Impact Network is a network of innovators working collaboratively to transform the landscape of HIV-STBBI in Manitoba. Composed of people with lived experience, researchers, health care professionals, policy makers, community-based organizations and Indigenous organizations, we work on understanding systems gaps and barriers and bringing diverse stakeholders together to develop innovative community-based culturally responsive solutions. We advance our key goals to increase HIV-STBBI testing, improve linkage to care, decrease the incidence of HIV-STBBI, disrupt stigma and discrimination by tackling complex system-related issues. We align our goals/common agenda with the Federal STBBI Strategy (2019) Accelerating Our Response – Government of Canada Five-Year Action Plan on Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections. CIN Stewardship Team:

CINetwork is guided by the CIN Stewardship Team, which oversees the network’s direction, activities, and sustainability. It also monitors the broader level CINetwork activities, including planning events, evaluating the CINetwork, and making sense of findings from the CINetwork’s activities to connect with policymakers and facilitate policy changes in Manitoba. The team consists of people with lived experience, researchers, community-based organization reps, health authority reps, policymakers, Indigenous organization reps, and other interested parties.

HIV Awareness: The HIV is HERE Campaign Webinar
Wednesday, January 14th, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM CST

In this presentation we will describe the development and implementation of HIV is HERE, an HIV awareness campaign for Winnipeg. This campaign was developed in partnership between Nine Circles Community Health Centre and Healthy Sexuality and Harm Reduction, and supported by several community organizations involved in harm reduction supply distribution. We will share the HIV-related knowledge gathered from community members with lived experience using drugs, which set the content and tone of the campaign. We will also describe campaign promotion efforts, outcomes to date, and ongoing communication efforts in the context of the current HIV outbreak.

“The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority Healthy Sexuality and Harm Reduction team, Nine Circles, and community partners launched HIV is Here, a colourful, community-driven public campaign.

“We found outdated perceptions of HIV as an untreatable, terminal illness, or as a ‘gay disease,’” said Dr. Lesperance. “People said nobody talks about HIV anymore.”

The campaign aims to normalize conversation, correct myths, and highlight that HIV is treatable. “
