Making It Count - Gay HIV Consultation
posted: 19/04/2010
The latest version of the gay / bi men’s HIV prevention and sexual health strategy for England, Making It Count, is now open for your comments. Making it Count, is rewritten and fully updated from the third version, which appeared in 2003.
Making it Count is the planning framework for CHAPS, the multi-agency partnership for HIV prevention and education of gay and bisexual men in England.
The latest edition picks out the key choices facing men who have sex with men that affect HIV transmission rates, and pays attention to what helps motivate men.
It’s designed to bring together education and empowerment, with the values and social norms that will promote the best sex with the least harm among gay men and bisexual men.
This draft doesn’t have the final stamp of approval from the CHAPS partners, but there is broad agreement. They want your views first.
Some of the questions to think about are :
- How well does it meet the sexual health and onward HIV transmission needs of gay / bi men diagnosed with HIV?
- Is positive prevention given enough priority?
- Are men diagnosed with HIV involved enough in positive prevention?
