In our social marketing campaigns we draw on the practises and learning of people with HIV. They reflect on issues and experiences such as living with HIV today, with its anxieties and challenges. These cover a range of experiences, from the stresses before getting tested for HIV, to dealing with a new diagnosis, and from changing approaches to sex and relationships to living long term. People with HIV share strategies on how they have approached these issues, developing skills and learning to make decisions which have worked for them.

Our current campaigns include:

KNOW THE FACTS - SEX AND HEP C

Hep C is usually transmitted by sharing injecting equipment (including needles, spoons, tourniquets and filters) as well as tattooing or body piercing with infected equipment. However, sexual transmission is also possible. In our booklet KNOW THE FACTS - SEX AND HEP C we outline latest information about Hep C, ways to avoid transmission and current treatment options. WARNING - content is unsuitable for people under 18 years.

Sero Disco - Why let HIV get in the way of a good relationship?

Looking after each other in serodiscordant relationships (where one partner is HIV positive and one partner is HIV negative) includes everything from communication to condoms. In our new campaign Sero Disco (Why let HIV get in the way of a good relationship?) we try to give you some practical answers to questions you might have asked yourself at some time.

SYPHILIS - GET THE FACTS

Anyone can get syphilis, but men who have sex with men account for 90% of the cases of infectious syphilis in New South Wales. About half of these guys are HIV positive. So if you are HIV positive, sexually active, and fucking with men, it makes good sense to have a regular blood test (i.e. every three months) for syphilis.
