The PrEPsters specialise in telling half the story. But, increasingly, gay men see right through it. Let’s consider this Twitter exchange. Here at GMAP we believe that a small focused roll-out of PrEP is sufficient. It should be aimed at gay men who have a chaotic life. Men who are out of control and really… Read More »
It’s not unfair to say that the gay ill health sector has over the past 15 years failed in their remit to keep gay men safe from HIV and STIs with a strong message of consistent condom use.
