Experience in LGBT2SQ research

My experience related to LGBT health has focused on HIV/AIDS. I was the founding staff person of the Canadian AIDS Treatment Information Exchange and served on its board for a number of years. In the early 1990s I served as an advisory committee member for the HIV/AIDS programme of the Toronto Counselling Centre for Lesbian and Gays. I have done community-based research on questions of access to HIV-related health and social services for people living with HIV/AIDS. I have also done work on the healthwork of people living with HIV/AIDS in the context of new antiretroviral therapy. I am a current steering committee member of AIDS ACTION NOW.
