Please Take Part in our Housing Study

Positive Spaces Healthy Places (PSHP) is currently recruiting 40 - 50 gay men in Toronto and approximately 10-20 gay men in Central South Western Ontario who have tested HIV-negative in the past year. The results from HIV-negative participants will be compared to our established group of 600 people with HIV/AIDS. The HIV-negative comparison group will help provide more accurate estimates of the associations between housing stability, health and health related quality of life.

Why Participate?

When people with HIV have stable housing and feel they belong in their neighborhoods, they are healthier. When they don't have to move more than once in a year or worry about losing their housing, they enjoy better quality of life. On the other hand, when their housing is threatened, both their mental and physical health suffers: they have much lower quality of life than those who can make ends meet. The PSHP study is moving research into action. We are helping influence policy that benefit people with HIV.
