Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is looking for gay men living with HIV to share their experiences online on its ‘What next?’ website, http://www.tht.org.uk/whatnext which provides information and support specifically for newly diagnosed gay men.
Part of the website is written from the perspective of men already living with HIV and includes diaries describing their personal experiences and offering tips and advice. THT hopes to find more men willing to contribute to this section.
Anyone who is interested can come forward and the aim is to get a diverse range of men with varying experiences and backgrounds. At the moment, THT is particularly looking for Latin American men and men from black and minority ethnic communities. Ideally contributors would be able to provide a diary of about 500 words once a month. They would also have to be comfortable being pictured on the website.
Marc Thompson, Deputy Head of Health Promotion at Terrence Higgins Trust said “We know that many people feel quite alone after being diagnosed with HIV and What next? aims to reduce that feeling of isolation. Hearing from men with HIV who are living normal lives and managing their condition can really help. If you’re interested in featuring on the website, please get in touch. Your contribution could mean a lot to someone who is newly diagnosed.”
What next? is funded by the Department of Health. Topics on the site include finding out you have HIV, telling people, health, sex and love, dealing with medical staff and information on HIV, treatment and transmission. There is a quiz to test knowledge and an option to ask an anonymous question on any aspect of HIV.
