Youth
We are pleased to invite you to take a look at the African and Caribbean Council on HIV/AIDS in Ontario’s (ACCHO) youth campaign which is now live! The campaign, whose target audience are ACB youth 16-24 years old, aims to increase HIV (and STI) testing, as well as discussion around sexual health. We worked with Top Drawer Creative and a committee to develop this campaign. We also held focus groups with youth in Kitchener, Ottawa (English & French), Toronto, and Windsor.
