About Here to Stay  
Here to Stay is a collection of narratives and photographs contributed by gay and bisexual men living with HIV to the Still Here Project. We worked with 22 gay and bisexual men living with HIV and affected by suicide to take photographs to share their experiences, stories, and perspectives about suicide.

Here to Stay is made possible thanks to the generous support from the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research. 

Still Here was a project supported by the Men's Health Research program at the School of Nursing at the University of British Columbia via funding from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research and Movember. Here to Stay is a partnership with the British Columbia Centre on Substance Use, the Health Initiative for Men (HIM), and the Pacific AIDS Network.
