Who we are

POSITIVE LIVING BC is dedicated to empowering persons living with HIV/AIDS through mutual support and collective action.

Formerly known as the British Columbia Persons With AIDS Society (BCPWA) and with a membership of more than 4,800 HIV+ members, we are Western Canada's largest AIDS service organization and a proud history spanning three decades.

We are an established leader in the HIV/AIDS movement and, uniquely among major agencies in Canada, the POSITIVE LIVING BC Board of Directors is composed entirely of HIV+ members.

We provide support, advocacy services, treatment information and volunteer opportunities for our many diverse members.
