NAM has just launched www.namlife.org, a brand new mini site about living with HIV. Whether you have been recently diagnosed, have lived with HIV for a while, know someone who is, or just want to find out more then namlife will have something for you.

This site is still in development so if you have any feedback about how we could improve the site, we would love to hear from you.

NAM would like to thank the Peter Moores Foundation for its generous support with this project.

The new edition of NAM’s Preventing HIV has been fully revised to include all the latest developments in HIV prevention. Drawing on the latest studies, Preventing HIV examines current, emergent and future prevention technologies and strategies all in one book. Uniquely, the information in Preventing HIV is relevant to HIV prevention work in the UK, Europe, the United States and resource-limited settings. To find out more, click here.

To order your copy of the updated edition, visit our online bookshop, call 020 7840 0050 or email info@nam.org.uk  

NAM’s patient information booklet HIV & Stigma has been revised, updated and redesigned and is now available online and in print. This booklet is for people living with HIV and explores stigma and discrimination in everyday life. Funded by the Department of Health and the Derek Butler Trust, this booklet is available free to individuals in the UK directly affected by HIV and is distributed free through HIV clinics. It is also available to buy for £1.00 from our online bookshop or can be downloaded as a pdf or read online.

Could you help us translate our resources into other languages? Or have you already translated some of our materials?

We would love to hear from you.

NAM is committed to sharing information and increasing access to our materials. We already provide a range of information and news bulletins in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian. However, there is so much more we could do. With your help, we would love to put more translated materials on aidsmap.com and share them across the world. To contact us, click here

NAM has just produced a new resource called ’10 things it’s good to know about HIV treatment’. Badged by the Plain English Campaign, this discreet credit-card sized resource, available in both English and French, has been specially designed to help answer important early questions about HIV treatment clearly and simply. NAM hopes this resource will be a valuable resource after a new diagnosis or at times when other information can seem overwhelming.

If you are an individual personally affected by HIV and would like to receive this resource, please do get in touch

If you represent an organisation that gives out information to your patient/client group, you will be eligible to receive this new resource free of charge. For more information, please ring Laura on 020 7840 0050 or email info@nam.org.uk for more details. 

A team of NAM staff recently attended the International AIDS Conference in Mexico City from the 1st to the 8th of August. Taking place every two years, the IAC is one of the largest conferences of its kind and brings together clinicians, NGOs and pharmaceutical companies from across the world for discussion of the issues and developments in HIV.

Reporting directly from the sessions, our editors produced high quality daily email news bulletins on the latest global research and debate. To read these conference bulletins, available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and French, click here

Working in partnership with gTt, a community based HIV organisation in Spain, NAM also met delegates from all over the world and distributed our resources from our shared stand in the Exhibition Hall. Conferences such as IAC offer NAM a unique opportunity to share information and forge excellent working relationships with organisations from all over the world.

NAM would like to thank the team from gTt for working so hard and helping us to learn some Spanish! NAM hopes to build on this relationship in the future, which has already allowed us to widen access to our range of resources.
