Black communities represent less than 5% of Canada’s population, yet account for one in four new HIV diagnoses nationwide. This stark disparity underscores why expanding access to HIV testing isn’t simply an innovation—it’s a health equity imperative.

Through the redesigned I’m Ready 2.0 app and website, people across Canada can now:
✅ Order free HIV self-test kits
✅ Choose between the OraQuick™ oral swab and INSTI® HIV self-tests
✅ Access trusted HIV information, treatment resources, and care pathways
✅ Connect directly with licensed clinicians through Freddie and Felix for HIV prevention, PrEP, treatment, and ongoing sexual health care

“The launch of I’m Ready 2.0 is about more than expanding access to HIV self-testing—it is about bringing dignity, choice, and care directly to the people who have too often been left behind,” said Nonty Nkala, Research and Outreach Coordinator at Women’s Health in Women’s Hands Community Health Centre. “By meeting people where they are with free HIV self-testing and seamless connections to care, we are removing barriers, building trust, and empowering people to take control of their health on their own terms.”
