Welcome to GMH

• Prevent further transmission of HIV
• Challenge stigma and discrimination around living with HIV
• Promote the sexual health of all gay and bisexual men
• Promote the mental and emotional health of all gay and bisexual men
• Promote the physical health of all gay and bisexual men
• Promote the social health of all gay and bisexual men
In order to do this, we work on several projects and provide a number of services and opportunities, including:
• free, confidential and professional counselling
• information and advice on safer sex
• leaflets, posters and campaigns
• peer education on the gay scene and internet
• information on HIV testing
• free condoms and lubricant for gay and bisexual men
• research on health-related issues
• challenging HIV stigma and discrimination
• volunteering opportunities
• training for professionals
• ...and much more
We hope you find our website enjoyable and interesting. If you have any questions or comments then please contact us.
In Lothian, 40% of gay and bisexual men with HIV don’t know they have it. The only way to know your HIV status is to have an HIV Test.
