About us

By and for 2SLGBTQIA+ people.

MyTest is an HIV self-testing initiative delivered by and for 2SLGBTQIA+ people. MyTest is led by the Community-Based Research Centre (CBRC), a national non-profit for gender diverse and sexually diverse people, in partnership with Grindr for Equality.

CBRC has led a number of HIV self-testing initiatives since 2020, distributing HIV self-tests to tens of thousands of 2SLGBTQIA+ people across Canada. Through this work, we aim to reduce barriers to HIV testing and increase access to stigma-free HIV testing for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across the country.

Additional contributions to this program have been made by a number of organizations across the country committed to 2SLGBTQIA+ health, HIV prevention and treatment, and harm reduction. Funding is provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada.

The ease of ordering and access to the tests without cost is the most valuable piece. I also had my result immediately, which was very valuable, without having to go into a clinic environment and having to deal with tons of admin and nurses and so many lifestyle questions.
