Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The NHS and Public Health England (PHE) are extremely well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.

Stay at home if you have either:

- a high temperature - you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)

- a new, continuous cough. This means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

- loss or change to your sense of smell or taste. This means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal.

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital

• You will have more choice about where to get your medicines from because they can be collected from a pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop.
• You may not have to wait as long as your repeat prescriptions could be prepared before you arrive.

COVID-19  has drastically impacted the services we offer and how we work with service users.

The casework team spoke to 301 people living with HIV positive in under 72 hours. They were all extremely anxious about having to self-isolate and how they were going to earn a living.

​Since the lockdown, NAZ has been actively supporting the immediate needs of our clients: providing food, referrals and advice on welfare and benefits.

Services In Covid

• Weekly food and toiletries drop off.

• Case support to access funds, benefits and housing.

• Open Mic – call and speak to us about what’s on your mind.

• Counselling service – free counselling service.

• Campaigning – making sure those in power understand the impact COVID-19 is having on our communities and holding to account on how they respond.

 

HIV Care & Support

The NAZ HIV Care and Support Service is dedicated to enabling people to accept their diagnosis and live life to its fullest.

 

Community Programmes

We offer a range of programmes tailored to serve different needs, creating a safe and supportive community.

 

Counselling & Wellbeing

We provide counselling and psychotherapy to those experiencing difficulties with their sexuality, relationships and sexual health.

 

Policy & Advocacy

We influence policy and practice to address the challenges and sexual health inequalities our communities face.

 

What we do

​

​Our work is situated in a sobering reality. BAME communities are disproportionately impacted by poor HIV, sexual and reproductive health compared to their white counterparts:  

​

1. The highest population rates of STI diagnoses are among people of Black or mixed ethnicity, with Black Caribbeans having the highest diagnosis rates of many STIs of all ethnic groups. The majority of these cases are among persons living in areas of high deprivation. These high rates of STI diagnoses are most likely due to a combination of cultural, economic and behavioural factors.

2. This disproportionality is particularly pronounced for gonorrhoea1 which increased in diagnoses by 34% between 2017 and 2018 for people of Black Caribbean ethnicity.

3. In 2018, 52% of Black African heterosexual women were diagnosed at a late stage of HIV infection in 2018, compared to 43% overall.

4. Mothers from Black ethnicities are at nearly five times higher risk of dying in childbirth than white mothers. 

​

At the heart of our work is a passion and drive to redress sexual health inequalities to enable all people from minority communities to enjoy positive sexual health and well-being. 

​

Our work is available in multiple languages and works across four key areas:

1. Care and Support Services for people impacted and living with HIV

2. Sexual health prevention and promotions services

3. Clinical Services: HIV/ selected STI pop-up services and psycho therapeutic counselling

4. Research, influencing and policy
