NAM
NAM is one of the world’s leading sources of independent, accurate information on HIV and AIDS and related diseases (such as hepatitis & TB).
We work to change lives by sharing information on HIV and AIDS. We believe that, wherever you are in the world, having independent, clear and accurate information is vital in the fight against HIV and AIDS. We produce useful information that you can trust.
Access to quality information is absolutely critical to enable individuals and communities affected by HIV to protect themselves, manage their health, care for others, advocate for better services and challenge stigma and discrimination.
We make sure this information is there for anyone who needs it. We believe that useful, reliable, relevant information enables people to:
- Take control of their lives and health
- Protect themselves and others
- Understand and adhere to their treatment
- Develop productive dialogues with healthcare staff and other relevant workers
- Live longer, healthier and better quality lives
That it enables professionals to:
- Keep up to date with developments that impact their work
- Deliver the best services for people with HIV
- Offer the most effective support for people at risk from, or living with, HIV
