Positive Change is the Asia Pacific Network of People Living with HIV and AIDS (APN+) Strategy for 2012 – 2016. It describes our ambitions, our priorities and the differences we want to make over the next five years. APN+ was established in 1994 as a collective voice for all HIV positive people in the Asia Pacific region. We are a peer led organisation and all country representatives to our Board are positive leaders. We are committed to nondiscrimination and gender equity and we continue to work to encourage and support the active particip tion of women in our networks, as well as positive people from marginalised populations such as people who use drugs, men who have sex with men, transgendered people, sex workers, and mobile and migrant people Our Bangkok based Secretariat aims to be responsive and supportive to our network members and represent their interests regionally. Over the past twenty years we have grown in strength and numbers and now have thirty member country networks spread across the entire Asia Pacific region working together to improve the quality of life for all people living with HIV.
