About us
We are the Global
Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+), a network for people living
with HIV, run by people living with HIV. We engage with and support
national and regional networks of people living with HIV, and this
ensures that our global work is grounded in their local experiences and
priorities. The meaningful involvement of people living with HIV is at
the heart of all that we do.
We work with communities
that are both geographic and identity-based. We are not a membership
organization; we are a network of interconnected individuals and
organizations that is open to all.
We build broad partnerships
with individuals, organizations and institutions to increase our
influence. Using the power of evidence-based advocacy, we challenge
governments and global leaders to improve access to quality HIV
prevention, treatment, care and support services.
Our Vision:
A
world where all people living with HIV are free from stigma and
discrimination to have our rights recognized, our dignity respected and
have universal access to treatment and care.
Our Mission:
To improve the quality of life for people living with HIV, in all our diversity.
How We Began:
People
Living with HIV came tighter for their first conference in 1986. Since
then, regular conferences have taken place, giving our community an
opportunity to share information and develop ideas for joint activism.
Over time, our discussions led to the development of programmes to
tackle the HIV epidemic. By 1992, it was clear that we needed an
organisation to take on this programme work, and GNP+ was born. Today,
GNP+ has staff based in offices in Amsterdam and Cape Town, plus a few
in other parts of the world, all working together with a network of
partners, allies and supporters to deliver global advocacy programmes.
