HIVAN has a networking team dedicated to facilitating contact, communication and collaboration within and across the higher education, public, private, faith-based, non-government, and community-based sectors. HIVAN’s website, database, newsletters, reviews, and fora are all intended to enable and encourage these interactions. These fora are attended by community workers, volunteers and representatives from NGOs, FBOs, CBOs and government. They create a context for people and organisations to network and build contacts outside of the usual networks, raise knowledge levels and expose people to relevant and timely issues surrounding HIV and AIDS and creates dialogue between groups that don’t normally come in contact with each other. HIVAN’s networking fora are:

• The MRC KZN AIDS Forum
• Faith-Based Leaders and HIV/AIDS Researchers Forum
• Youth Fora
• Capacity-building Workshops
• Home-Based Care Workshops
• Contentious Issues Panel Discussion
• The HIVAN North and South Coast Communities Fora
• SHAPE
• The Public Health HIV/AIDS Journal Club Forum
• Internal HIVAN Forum
