The AHPN through the NAHIP programme has developed resources for Christian and Muslim faith leaders and African community based organisations. The materials are used to increase levels of awareness on HIV and to change perceptions of HIV and Africans in the UK.
The AHPN also advocates for the participation of faith leaders in informing key policies regarding HIV and African communities and encourages an active approach to challenging stigma and raising awareness.
