Self-help 4.0 in Germany: independent and recognized

1. further develop and promote self-help

Develop self-help further and make it attractive for the current needs of people living with HIV.
Enable exchange of ideas, inspiration and support among each other (e.g. through seminars and meetings)
Promote the competence and activity of self-help and activists.
To give independent self-help more visibility and recognition in the national network.
The focus of our work is on living with HIV.
Demanding appreciation of self-help.

2. provide information on HIV

Create more visibility and access to the topic of HIV
Promote an open and relaxed life with HIV within society.
Transporting a contemporary image of HIV into society
Promote and advertise self-help counselling and information services.
To offer information on HIV, therapy solutions, living with HIV and "zero" discrimination
Our content is self-determined, authentic and unfiltered

3. work on issues & get involved

At our meetings and when working together, we are independent in working out issues and demands - and we do this with a lot of commitment, fun and joy.
Together we make our demands more visible in society and politics, e.g. on World AIDS Day, n=n (not detectable = not transmissible), ...
We are experts in our own field and demand a say, e.g. in health policy, social policy or social policy.
Don't talk about us and make decisions without us.
We are HIV self-help and demand a say.

4. plan and implement actions

Develop, realise and publish ideas together, e.g. for the WAT, N=N (10 years EKAF, action: Flying Condoms) HIV and work, children/HIV, CSD ...
We love activism and we are creative, spontaneous, flexible and authentic - together we have the most fun.
Our AktHIV.de meeting has already proven itself as a platform for finding ideas.
Also as a duo, e.g. with other organisations, we can start joint actions at eye level.

5. benefit with the federal network

Achieve better visibility and perception of independent self-help at the federal level.
The ideas and actions of the members receive support from us and thus gain nationwide significance.
As a member of the national HIV network, you will be visible, independent and self-confident.
Finding cooperation partners and supporters together.
Exchange ideas, inspiration and support among each other and benefit from other perspectives.
Our members are competent contact persons for the media, HIV research, politics and health insurance companies.
HIV activists offer an exciting platform for cooperation. Here you can meet committed people, enjoy working together and change the way HIV is dealt with.
Activism needs new blood. We welcome new people and new ideas.
