PLACE TOKYO (Positive Living And Community Empowerment TOKYO)

ぷれいす東京

PLACE TOKYOPositive Living And

Community Empowerment TOKYO

PLACE TOKYO has been active for nearly a quarter-century in Tokyo where 30% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Japan reside. As a community-based organization (CBO), we have been continuously providing PLHIV, their partners, and family members with quality care and support — helping their HIV-affected life to be as much as it used to be.

Our activities are mainly composed of: [1] Direct Care: Telephone/face-to-face consultation services and peer programs for PLHIV, their partners and family members; and, a buddy program;[2] Education and Prevention: Hotlines, peer education programs for gay/bisexual men; transgender people; and, the production of educa-tional materials; and,[3] Research and Training: Research projects, training programs, and the dispatch of instructors and specialists.

While the treatment burden of PLHIV has been greatly alleviated by therapeutic advances, there are still barriers — including stigma — that hinder their full participation in society. Through community-level initia-tives with PLHIV, our mission is to foster an agreeable environment for PLHIV in collaboration with local and national governments, enterpris-es, and research institutions. We appreciate your kind support and cooperation.
