A new PSHP article is published in the May/June 2011, Vol.102, No.3 issue of the Canadian Journal of Public Health titled Inequalities in Determinants of Health Among Aboriginal and Caucasian Persons Living With HIV/AIDS in Ontario: Results From the Positive Spaces, Healthy Places Study.

18/05/2011 Now Recruiting: The PSHP team is currently recruiting 200 - 300 people who have tested HIV negative in the past year. Participants’ results will be compared to our already established group of 600 people living with HIV/AIDS.

We are recruiting through testing sites, ASO's, community organisations  and clinics and asking our HIV positive participants, friends and colleagues to help us recruit through their HIV negative social networks.

This comparison group will help to provide more accurate estimates of the nature / strength of the housing stability and health relationships.
