NAM works to change lives by sharing information about 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. It enables individuals and communities affected by HIV to protect themselves, care for others, advocate for better services and challenge stigma and discrimination.
We produce useful information that you can trust, and make sure it is there for anyone who needs it.

JUSTRI is a not-for-profit organisation established to work with allies in the healthcare and patient communities, international agencies and the pharmaceutical industry to build successful responses to HIV and related conditions such as Hepatitis B & C.
In collaboration with these allies we initiate and support projects and trainings, supply locally relevant resources, and facilitate international innovation in the provision of care for people living with these infections.
We’re here to let all lesbian, gay, bi and trans people, here and abroad, know they’re not alone.
We believe we’re stronger united, so we partner with organisations that help us create real change for the better. We have laid deep foundations across Britain – in some of our greatest institutions – so our communities can continue to find ways to flourish, and individuals can reach their full potential. We’re here to support those who can’t yet be themselves.
But our work is not finished yet. Not until everyone feels free to be who they are, wherever they are.
