Positive Health Project (PHP) has been designed by the peers it serves, to provide support and education to individuals infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. PHP's overall strategy is to provide multi-faceted interventions for individuals who engage in behaviors that can cause blood-borne and sexually transmitted infections. PHP advocates for the needs of drug injectors, substance users and those who are HIV positive while providing a safe environment to improve their quality of life and overall health.

The high concentration of persons with HIV/AIDS, lack of knowledge on how to prevent infectious diseases, discrimination, and fear of disclosure have driven the targeted population underground, making the delivery of services extremely difficult.
