Subscriptions

NATAP has a unique mission. We are committed to providing the most comprehensive, accurate and real-time up-to-date treatment information available. Therefore we do not have a set publication schedule. When there are advances in AIDS treatment we will publish them either in this newsletter, on our web site or if they are urgent in a priority fax or e-mail notice. 

A subscription to NATAP Reports will allow you to receive a copy of the newsletter as well as an entry on our e-mail list.

Please send us your e-mail address. All our publications are free for those who cannot afford to pay; however, we do appreciate a suggested donation for subscriptions. NATAP is a 501(c)-3 non-profit corporation, so donations are tax-deductible.
