Handbook Consultation

We have collaborated with the partners in the National African HIV Prevention Programme (NAHIP) to draft a handbook to facilitate HIV prevention activity for African people in England. We see it as an implementation guide to accompany The knowledge, the will and the power. We encourage all those involved in the planning, delivery, or funding of HIV prevention interventions targeting Africans to give their feedback on the draft by the end of Monday 27^th July.
