The Asian Society for the Intervention of AIDS (ASIA) closed on 31 March. Their injection drug user outreach program, primarily serving Asian injection drug users (IDUs) in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and Chinatown, will now be housed at AIDS Vancouver. This street-level outreach program provides clients with support to access social and health care services, HIV/AIDS information, referral, education, and interventions.
The program’s outreach worker will also provide information and referrals regarding immigration, legal, and housing services, and lead a weekly support group.
