What Clients Say

"I couldn't believe there was an agency set up specially for people like me. I thought I was the only Asian on earth affected by HIV."
(HIV positive man)

"We would have been lost without NPL staff who successfully mediated between our HIV-positive Muslim client and his family, who wanted to kidnap him from his gay partner."
(Social Worker)

"In Islam, we have strict rules about hygiene and so on. That's why I don't use Social Services: they don't understand Muslims. NPL understands our religion and culture."
(HIV positive man in fifties)

"I felt very isolated and confused, especially because I spoke very little English. At NPL, I was able to talk about my problems in my mother tongue and now I feel more in control."
(70 year old HIV positive man)

"I am a person living with HIV, very far from my country and without my loved ones. In some ways Naz Latina has compensated for this."
(Bianca)

"I was diagnosed HIV positive four years ago and for a long time, I didn't tell anyone at all. Since I came to NPL, I have been able to talk to people and I feel reassured that I am not alone in coping with my problems."
(HIV positive woman in her 20's)

"Asian communities are very close knit. Everyone knows what everyone else is doing… I didn't want to disgrace my family. NPL has helped me through the most difficult time in my life."
(28 year old male of Muslim faith)

"After I spoke with Carlos from Naz Latina, I was more relaxed and felt hope for my future."
(Jorge)
