Act Aware

On World AIDS Day – and all year round – we're asking you to Act Aware. Acting aware means finding out the facts about HIV and using this knowledge to protect yourself and others from HIV infection.

Many people do not understand how HIV is transmitted, how it can be prevented, or the reality of living with HIV today. People living with HIV can also still face stigma and discrimination from society.

Want to do something about this? Visit HIVaware — a fun, interactive new website which provides all the information everyone should know about HIV.
 

Act Aware by supporting our campaigns!

NAT (National AIDS Trust) doesn't just campaign on World AIDS Day - throughout the year we work on a range of issues affecting people living with HIV, including benefits, employment and human rights. We are committed to ensuring that the laws and policies affecting people living with HIV are fair, and we work to raise awareness of HIV and the importance of HIV education in the UK today.  Get involved in NAT's campaigns.

Act Aware by fundraising!

Fancy organising a cake sale, a party or taking part in a challenge event? We rely on your generous donations and fantastic fundraising to raise vital funds for NAT's HIV policy and campaigning work.  We have plenty of ideas for how you can raise money for NAT all year round.

Bake Aware

Get your apron on and get baking! One of the most fun and popular ways to Act Aware and raise funds for NAT's work is to 'Bake Aware' — it's also a great excuse to share some tasty treats. Download the Bake Aware fundraising pack.
