Objective

Purpose: To implement and review a limited rollout of PrEP among MSM, in partnership with the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation.

Health4Men has developed extensive expertise in all areas of MSM sexual health, including HIV combination prevention and both STI and HIV treatment, and mental health. Other areas of focus include MSM-focused community outreach models including interactive digital platforms, media production and topical research initiatives. With funding from PEPFAR/USAID and the Global Fund, we have trained over 3 000 health workers in the public sector to provide prejudice-free competent services to gay and bisexual men. Nurses and doctors at over 260 clinics, across all provinces, have been mentored by our highly skilled team to ensure that gay and bisexual men receive excellent treatment and care regarding their sexual health, including HIV-related services. We also ensure that gay and bisexual men can find their nearest competent clinic: click here to access this service.
