Abstract

Forty years since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to be the population most at risk of, and most affected by, HIV/AIDS in Canada and the United States. Despite this, many MSM remain HIV-negative today, and among MSM living with HIV, many have not only survived the clinical and social impacts of HIV/AIDS, but have also thrived, lived full lives, and fiercely advocated for their healthcare and social service needs. Many MSM who are HIV-negative have also been fierce advocates for HIV care, and have been greatly impacted byt the epidemic.
