i-Base

Knowledge = power

More than any other health issue, HIV changed the way that people are involved in health care.

This includes helping people to be actively involved in choices relating to our health.

Direct involvement of people living with HIV and our advocates has changed the way that drugs are developed, researched, priced and accessed.

i-Base is a treatment advocacy and activist organisation. The resources are developed to help train other community activists and to develop community networks.
