Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention
The Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention (ASAAP) is a Canadian nonprofit organization and registered charity (business registration number 139274864RR0001) focused on HIV/AIDS education, support, and advocacy within South Asian communities. Founded in 1989, it originated from voluntary efforts by members of Khush, a now-defunct social group for South Asian LGBTQ+ individuals, in response to a South Asian couple who died of AIDS-related complications while facing language and cultural barriers in accessing care[3].
ASAAP delivers culturally responsive services in languages including Tamil, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Bengali[3]. Its programs encompass preventative education, outreach, and direct support for individuals affected by HIV/AIDS across the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions[3][4]. The organization operates with an 11-member volunteer board of directors and relies on collaboration with staff and community volunteers[3].
Recognized for its intersectional approach, ASAAP addresses systemic inequities in healthcare access and stigma reduction[4]. The organization acknowledges its work on the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat, Seneca, and Mississaugas of the Credit River[4]. While initially focused on HIV/AIDS, its advocacy extends to broader health equity issues impacting South Asian diasporic communities in Canada[5].
