HIV - the Basics
posted: 13/05/2009
NAM's new information resources, the basics, are now available online. Written in simple, plain English - and in French - the series of ten leaflets covers the top questions people have.
This completely new series of ten illustrated fact sheets covers key health messages and is intended to help in discussions between healthcare workers and people with HIV. Awarded the Crystal Mark by the Plain English Campaign, the simple language and pictures really bring the information to life.
Each leaflet focuses on a few key facts, and uses simple language and colourful diagrams to make the information accessible and useful.
The leaflets can be used by individuals as an introduction to HIV healthcare issues.
Available in English and in French, the basics are free to download and print - and NAM welcome your feedback on them.
