Tansi/hello Wendy,
Well, just keep plugging away at er girlfriend!
:-)
One can also connect with all these semi accountable ASO's (Aids Service
Org's) and stay in contact with what is happening with them? I ended up
opening the speaking at a conference in Toronto a few years ago that raised
a few eyebrows. That was my intention. VIVA did receive some notice from
PWN - Positive Womens Network - which has treated VIVA terribly and has a
history of that. (long story)
I am not involved at all with VIVA any more and at this point do not wish
to be - other than posting and sharing with my +womens community here.
Blessings Wendy.
Where are you located?
All our relations

>> lots of stories: We visit with two young people who were born with HIV, and

>> about HIV, sexuality and supporting PHAs. There are stories of tattoos,

>> Discover yourlanguage.hepcinfo.ca, a multilingual section of our website
>> that provides hepatitis C information in English, Simplified Chinese,
>> Tagalog, Punjabi and Urdu. The web section provides useful information in
>> all these languages, including PDFs of brochures intended for immigrants
>> and newcomers and service providers who work with them.
>>
>> The web information is part of an Ontario-wide campaign to raise
>> awareness about hepatitis C in the province’s largest immigrant
>> populations. The campaign will also have print and web advertisements in
>> community media, as well as targeted radio public service announcements,
>> throughout November and January. The campaign also directs people to call
>> the Toronto Public Health’s AIDS and Sexual Health Infoline
>> (1-800-668-2437) which can provide counseling about HIV, hepatitis and
>> sexual health in up to 16 languages and provide information about testing
>> sites within Ontario.
>>
>> We thank the Hepatitis C Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Health and
>> Long-term Care for its support in this program.

>>
>> The online course introduces the social, cultural and historical
>> frameworks for HIV health care in Aboriginal communities. The goal of the
>> 1.5-hour course is to provide training to improve frontline capacity and
>> cultural sensitivity for HIV diagnosis and treatment.
>>
>> This Continuing Medical Education (CME) certified course is a joint
>> effort by the Canadian Medical Association and CIHR Canadian HIV Trials
>> Network (CTN) with critical input from the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network
>> (CAAN). Memorial University of Newfoundland developed the instructional
>> design and is responsible for accreditation and evaluation.

>> The Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network (CAAN) is looking for individuals to
>> sit on its National Research Advisory Committee (NRAC). Since 2006, NRAC
>> has guided the research work of the CAAN Research and Policy Unit (RPU),

>> research that is methodologically-sound, culturally-appropriate, respectful
>> and relevant. NRAC will now be mandated to also oversee the work of the new
>> Aboriginal HIV & AIDS (AHA) Research Centre, housed at the CAAN RPU in
>> Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
>>
>> All members of the National Research Advisory Committee will participate
>> in the committee for a term of two years during which time Terms of
>> Reference and a process to replace members will be finalized. Committee
>> members will be asked to draw from their past and continued involvement in
>> the Aboriginal and/or the community-based research community, to guide
>> CAAN’s research initiatives. CAAN is looking for members from Aboriginal
>> communities residing anywhere in Canada. The ability to communicate through
>> email and via Skype would be very helpful.
