Dear Friends,
Again a month has passed, May is announcing itself and our programme is also landing into your post box.
Lgbt people in the Highlands are getting out and I am so happy about that. The online lgbt community led to the start of the lgbtcaithness social group that had its first meeting last month and will meet every month from now on. What a better combination than living in the beautiful surroundings of the north of Scotland together with getting to know and socialising with like minded people? Do not forget that we also have an lgbt lunch drop-in at our office in Inverness and that there is also the lgbt Lochaber social group that meets bi-monthly.
Testing…yes there is also some good news on that front. As you probably know, we offer free, anonymous and confidential testing every Tuesday from 5-7pm, by appointment. Lisa Ross, our clinical nurse, is now also offering the opportunity for testing on a drop-in basis, every weekday from 1.30-4pm. Choose the time that suits you best and get tested for HepB, HIV, and HepC or get your vaccination against HepB. Take care of yourself and of others….if you are worried, do not wait, we are here to advise and help you.
Since last year we are running an HIV support group on a monthly basis. From now on, we will run the group alternately on a Wednesday evening and a Friday at noon. It will meet the different needs of different people.
Last but not least, the works have finished, from now on we are occupying the whole building and next month we will be able to announce the long-awaited grand opening.
Take care, keep well
