Health Promotion

Health Promotion TeamStaffordshire Buddies Health promotion was launched on 7th October 2009 to expand and diversify our HIV prevention and sexual health promotion work.

Our aim is to reduce the number of people acquiring HIV and other sexually transmitted infections through providing both individual support and population level health promotion campaigns. You can read more about our aims and priorities by clicking here...

Mesmen

Our Mesmen project understakes sexual health promotion work with gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. We can offer individual support, group support and services by post including leaflets and free condoms.

EMIS Survey

Sigma Research has just launched EMIS - the European gay and bisexual men’s sex survey which incorporates the UKs Gay Men's Sex Survey also known as Vital Statistics. The survey will be available to complete in 25 languages, until 31 st August 2010.

The questionnaire is about sex, health and relationships. It is anonymous, safe, and relatively short (it takes about 15-25 minutes to complete). Taking part might mean you find out something new and the information you provide will help health promoters to better meet the needs of gay men and bisexual men. A high response rate will also help us send a signal to governments that HIV and sexual health are still very important.

Staffordshire Buddies would very much appreciate it if all the gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men who use or services would complete this survey please click here...
