The outreach team provide a professional friendly non judgemental
outreach service to men who have sex with men (MWHSWM). The client
group, which includes Bi-sexual men ( a hard to reach group) remain
disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections including
HIV/AIDS.
We aim to make contact with men wherever and whenever they may choose to meet throughout the County of Lincolnshire.
We offer up to date information, advice and resources relevant to individuals needs to promote and maintain good sexual health.

- To inform men about local issues : - HIV, Syphilis, gonorrhoea
