What does NSAP mean in UNCLASSIFIED

NSAP implements programs and campaigns that educate the public about HIV/AIDS prevention, encourages people living with HIV/AIDS to seek medical treatment, and creates linkages between key population groups and services. These efforts are coupled with advocacy for an inclusive policy environment supporting improved access to quality information, care, prevention and treatment services for those affected by the disease.

Yes. NSAP works with partner institutions that provide testing sites and counseling services aimed at helping individuals know their status and avail of appropriate medical care if needed.

In order to maximize impact on HIV/AIDS prevention in the Philippines, NSAP actively collaborates with international development partners who share the same commitment toward achieving global targets set out in UNAIDS 90-90-90 program goals such as “Treat All” which focuses on increasing access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). The organization also engages these partners through research activities related to accelerating progress towards universal coverage on HIV treatment access among key populations in need.

In addition to international partners, NSAP also collaborates with civil society organizations (CSOs), such as People Living With HIV/AIDS Networks (PLHIVNETs), MSM Networks (MSMnets), youth networks (Youthnets), government agencies like Department of Health (DOH) and local governments units (LGUs). The various members of these networks bring different perspectives and expertise allowing them to work together in addressing challenges faced by PLHIVs especially those from key populations.

You can help support this mission by volunteering or donating resources such as money or materials like used clothes or toys. Donating your time can make a huge difference; volunteer opportunities include helping out at events organized by NSAP or joining movements related to their cause such as promoting comprehensive sexuality education or advocating for greater access of PLHIVs to essential health services like ARTs or condoms. You can also join advocacy activities led by CSO members related to policy formulation around health issues related specifically but not limited to HIV/AIDS.
