See Us is a global awareness campaign focused on helping to address the unique challenges faced by women living with HIV.
The campaign seeks to assist in breaking down barriers, improving overall care and support, and, ultimately, helping to encourage women living with HIV to create a cohesive community and advocate for their own needs through improved dialogue between the patient and the healthcare provider.
See Us is a collaboration with the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC) and an expert Steering Committee, which includes women living with and affected by HIV, National AIDS Manual (NAM) and the medical community in Argentina, Canada, Italy, Nigeria, Poland, Romania, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. See Us was made possible through funding provided by AbbVie.
Should you have any questions, please send us a message at SeeUs@iapac.org.
