If you are living with HIV or have been recently diagnosed,  know that you are not alone and have options for treatment, support and care. Living with HIV can have a significant impact on your life, but it does not mean that you cannot live a fulfilling and long life. Get in touch with us and we can support you and connect you with doctors, support counsellors and specialists that work with you to stay healthy.

ASAAP recognizes that access to HIV information and services are sometimes framed by cultural context. HIV/AIDS is still highly stigmatized in our families & communities and we take our clients’ right to privacy very seriously. Your information will remain confidential. Only if you need, we can talk to your family or partner about any related issues they may face.
