What is the patient information service NAM provides?

For over a decade NAM has provided a range of printed HIV treatment information materials to HIV clinics. We have always provided our resources free of charge. Four times a year we promote new or updated editions and clinics respond by placing orders to replenish their stocks. 

At present we are distributing a range of 27 The basics (entry-level illustrated factsheets) and a range of 13 A6-sized booklets. The full list of titles is set out below.

All resources are certificated by the Information Standard, the kite mark for trustworthy information.

All The basics leaflets carry the Crystal Mark, issued by the Plain English Campaign.

Many of the materials, from both ranges of publications, have won commendations in the British Medical Association’s annual patient information awards.

These resources are backed up by a wealth of online material including factsheets, mobile phone applications (apps) and tools as well as translated editions of the above materials (17 languages) at www.aidsmap.com

Community Consensus Statement on Access to HIV Treatment and its Use for Prevention

Together, we can make it happen

We can end HIV soon if people have equal access to HIV drugs as treatment and as PrEP, and have free choice over whether to take them.

Launched today, the Community Consensus Statement is a basic set of principles aimed at making sure that happens.

The Community Consensus Statement is a joint initiative of AVAC, EATG, MSMGF, GNP+, HIV i-Base, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, ITPC and NAM/aidsmap
