Fife Men ...online!
How can we do it?
Only a strong community can face up to the crisis caused by HIV and Hepatitis. That means supporting groups which already exist and helping to set up new groups.
That will encourage people to meet, to talk to each other and to tackle the problem. If men are isolated, they may not be able to cope.
The Fife Men Project goes out and talks to men in clubs, pubs, cruising areas and other public sex environments.
We encourage men to use condoms when they are having sex. We can give them free condoms and lubricants when we meet them and, when appropriate, talk to them about their fears.
Our project is very strictly controlled and has a written constitution in which the confidential nature of our work is outlined in detail.
We offer some individual advice, information and contacts for sympathetic legal support.
The project organises activities such as sexuality awareness workshops, self-defence training and arranges speakers to help discuss issues such as the advantages and disadvantages of taking an HIV test.
