About CATIE

Our Changing Role

Exciting changes are happening at CATIE! We have taken on the role of national knowledge exchange broker for information related to HIV prevention and treatment, care and support for people living with and vulnerable to HIV. To find out what this means for you, read our updates on these changes!

Our Vision

CATIE will be a catalyst for a renewed and integrated national response to reduce the transmission of HIV and improve the quality of life of people with HIV.

Our Mission

CATIE champions and supports innovation and excellence in knowledge exchange for the prevention of HIV transmission, and the care, treatment and support of people with HIV by:

  • collaborating with and building the capacity of front line organizations to use knowledge effectively to respond to the HIV epidemic;
  • supporting and connecting people with HIV, other individuals, and organizations to develop, synthesize, share and apply HIV knowledge;
  • acting as a central contact point for the flow of comprehensive, accurate, unbiased, timely and accessible HIV information and community-based knowledge.

Our Services

CATIE provides free HIV information services and support to people living with HIV and their caregivers, to health care providers, to AIDS service organizations and to related front-line organizations. To learn more click on Access our services.
