Are you engaging in safer sex and using condoms regularly? Do you test for HIV and STI’s as frequent as you should?
While many guys out there can tick at least one of these, some guyscan’t. Which one are you?
In order to end HIV, we all need to get on board.
It is great to hear that guys are talking to each other about getting tested. And with over 2500 clients at the M Clinic, the biggest source of new clients comes from guys telling other guys (word of mouth). Good on you for helpingto spread the word about the M Clinic and getting tested.
For many of us, we can probably think of one or two guys that have never tested.
People have all kinds of reasons for not testing. Maybe they don’t have any symptoms?Maybe they are afraid they will be judged? Maybe they are not sure what testing involves?
You may be able to help answer some of these questions and concerns of someone you know, and get them to test.
A key component to ending HIV is early detection, which allows you to look after yourself and your partner/s.
If you are IN to help END HIV, let’s see if you can help others to JOIN IN.
