We help reduce HIV transmission by educating gay men about how to avoid picking up or passing on HIV. We do this by developing, producing and promoting information campaigns and distributing a range of educational resources

We also help people with HIV to maximise their health and minimise the effects of HIV by providing a diverse range of services and programs including support groups, workshops, information about HIV treatments, home-based care, transport services, emergency housing, counselling, therapies, discount vitamins, meals and social events.
