Its work spans Africa and Asia, focuses on AIDS and traditional medicine, sexuality and gender, food and art activism. The organization conducts research and training in comprehensive AIDS care, policy work to improve the quality of and availability of treatment choices, and encourages recognition of positive living as a lifelong process. It also convenes conferences and expert committees, produces documentation to attract attention to grassroots solutions, and conducts activist advocacy to raise citizens’ voices in effective ways, ways that influence policies and programs.
