Dear Friends,
Some exciting things have been happening recently. The Sexual Health Marquee was at Rock Ness, nicely tucked away on the main camping area. During the two days volunteers and people from THT, Brook and Highland Sexual Health distributed 27.500 safer sex materials: condoms, femidoms, dams and lube. Don’t forget that when you are living in Highland or Argyll & Bute you can receive free condoms by post, on request. So please feel free to order them by giving a ring, writing us an e-mail or by popping round to the office and picking them up.
We have increased our online peer support services. We have created three new online peer social/support groups: for HIV positive people, for Hepatitis C positive people and for the Transgender community. The addresses are:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HighlandHIVpos
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HighlandHepCpos
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HighlandTransgender
Join these groups and reap the benefits: create contacts, communicate, share your concerns with your peers. These groups are there for you.
From 15th July we are able to offer you a much greater variety of testing and sexual health Services:
