Mentorships
Through mentorships, the IAS connects up-and-coming researchers, advocates and healthcare providers with well-established HIV professionals. Mentorships support change makers’ career development and guide their professional journey in the HIV field.
IAS Mentorship Programme
The IAS Mentorship Programme provides a forum for experienced and younger participants to develop an ongoing relationship by meeting regularly and discussing matters related to the area of HIV within an organized and supportive framework. The programme also provides various skills development opportunities through Virtual Learning Events and space for discussion during Mentoring Circles and team-building activities.

Me and My Healthcare Provider
The Me and My Healthcare Provider Campaign recognizes frontline healthcare workers who deliver quality HIV prevention, treatment and care and other services to key populations, often in the face of stigma and discrimination. The campaign aims to build better understanding of what motivates these healthcare champions to provide inclusive and stigma-free services, amplify their stories to encourage replication, and empower others to confront stigma. The IAS would like to thank Gilead Sciences for their generous support to the Me and My Healthcare Provider campaign.
