Handbook on access to HIV/AIDS treatment – A collection of information, tools and resources for NGOs, CBOs and PLWHA groups

Groups of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), NGOs and CBOs are at the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and care, working alongside medical and health professionals, and in many cases acting as the sole providers of services.

This handbook aims to widen their participation further by helping them extend their services, and encouraging groups working in related fields to incorporate HIV/AIDS support into their work. It is a joint venture between UNAIDS, the World Health Organization and the Alliance.

The information and tools were designed drawing on the knowledge and experience of individuals, groups and NGOs working in the field across Africa and Asia. Topics include barriers to accessing treatment, an ethical approach to treatment work, and storing drugs.

Intended audience NGOs/CBOs, training organisations and individual trainers, international NGOs and NGO support programmes.
