Whether you are working in or living with HIV, being informed about the issues and understanding the available evidence and research is vital. Join us on facebook and follow us on Twitter to make sure you're up to date with all the latest goings on in the HIV sector.

Spread the word

You can help us by telling other people about NAM resources and our website www.aidsmap.com. Help us share valuable information about HIV by:

  1. You can pass on a link to our website simply by clicking on the 'email' or 'share' icons at the top of every article
  2. Become a NAM ‘champion’ by mentioning us in your blogs, tweets or facebook posts
  3. Link to our facebook page or become our friend on facebook
  4. Get your friends and colleagues to link to our facebook page
  5. Pass our resources on to others.

Share resources

Download them, pass them on, photocopy them, email a link, tweet a link, talk about them - please help us make sure as many people as possible have access to trusted, reliable, useful information that will help them understand HIV and AIDS.

Correct myths

There are lots of valuable information resources on the web and in print, but there is also a lot of mis-information, myth and misconception based on a lack of knowledge, awareness or understanding. NAM has a basic information leaflet on this topic.

If you see or read an article that is inaccurate or misinforms readers about HIV & AIDS why not:

  1. Let us know and we can make sure we have balanced rational information available
  2. Post a link/blog/tweet to a NAM resource that gives readers the real facts.

If more people understood HIV and AIDS there would be less stigma. If there was less stigma, people would be less afriad to test. If people tested sooner, they would have a much greater chance of a normal life in a society that understands.

Working in HIV?

You will already know that HIV is a fast-moving area of development. Ongoing research and studies means that information and guidelines about HIV are constantly changing. Make sure you are in the know about developments that might impact on your work.

Knowing the facts means you can become an ambassador for HIV - if people have questions or misconceptions, you can help them understand the facts, get yourself clued up by having a read of some of our information booklets.

If there's ever any information you're specifically looking for, and can't find, drop us a line at info@nam.org.uk and we'll be happy to point you in the right direction.
