Bruno Lemay lives in Montreal and has been HIV-positive since 2000. Soon after his diagnosis, he became interested in treatment information and began delivering educational workshops about HIV. He joined the Comité des personnes atteintes du VIH du Québec (CPAVIH) in 2001, where he took charge of the AIDS information phone line.

Bruno then worked in Toronto at the Canadian AIDS Treatment Information Exchange (CATIE) from 2002 until 2005 as a treatment information educator. During those three years, he established a treatment information volunteer training program and presented more than 80 training workshops while developing his skills related to HIV/HCV co-infection and harm reduction.

Upon his return to CPAVIH in 2006, Bruno assumed the role of coordinator of the provincial treatment information sector for two years. This included the phone line, workshops, writing treatment-related articles and organizing major conferences. Over the past two years, Bruno has been a member of Quebec’s Comité consultatif sur la prise en charge clinique de l’infection au VIH and has collaborated with many community organizations.

Today, Bruno works at the Maison du Parc as coordinator of the Portail VIH/sida du Québec, a new provincial Internet resource providing information and innovative learning tools.

In addition to bringing his expertise in education and his interest in harm reduction, as a member of the CTAC board, Bruno will strive to mobilize new people and to stimulate interest in treatment access.
