About Us
Here at AISD, we value our membership with the African Health Policy Network (AHPN) that lobby, influence health policies and enable Africans to speak with a national collective and representative voice on matters of health with special focus on HIV and sexual Health. We partner locally with the Terrence Higgins Trust, NHS Nottingham/shire and Nottingham Refugee Forum. We also partner with LASS in Leicester, DPS in Derby and Sun Rise Families in Corby. “Health4U” is an ongoing partnership research work with University of Nottingham until October 2014.
