Staying well

Recent advances in HIV treatments mean that people living with HIV are leading longer and more productive lives. But short and long-term side effects remain a major concern for positive people and for NAPWA.

NAPWA’s Health & Treatments Portfolio works with pharmaceutical companies, educators, clinicians and government to ensure we have access to the best treatments and information possible. Our HIV Health & Treatments Project is also active in this area, actively representing the interests of positive people in many ways.

Treataware (formerly the AIDS Treatment Project Australia) develops educational materials and organises the popular Treatments Information Roadshow and Chin Wag events all around Australia.

HIV Balance

In this special edition of Positive Living, six people with HIV have shared their stories with us about how they have incorporated healthier lifestyles into their routines, and how they have coped with setbacks.
