Our members | our Network
The CPPN is Canada's only national network which exists - exclusively - for people living with HIV and HIV co-infection(s).
There is never a cost associated with membership, but members must be HIV-positive, and/or living with HIV co-infection(s).
As the graphic (right) clearly illustrates, most CPPN members live in Ontario and British Columbia.
The average age of CPPN members is 51 years. The youngest member is 28 years old, and the eldest member is 79 years old.
The table below illustrates the age range of all CPPN members:
We have analyzed our membership data to understand how long our HIV-positive members have been living with HIV. The results may not be surprising since we know that people living with HIV in the early years of the epidemic are still alive (despite the odds at that time) and are likely to live for years to come.
Age range | 20-30 years | 31-40 years | 41-50 years | 51-60 years | 61-70 years | 70+ years |
