Boy teen gay

We provide information on relevant health issues, and we offer a range of specific and general services delivered by caring people who genuinely understand the health issues affecting young gay and same sex attracted men. We run a range of FREE peer-led events, workshops and projects for gay and same-sex attracted guys aged Through our work, we provide a place where young guys can meet each other and make new friends in a safe, social environment.

Here they can share ideas with their peers and learn more about identity, coming out, sex and sexual health, healthy relationships and more. Young gay men have lower rates of HIV and sexual health testing than older members of the community. Of course, this makes sense. Only after people overcome the initial barriers to testing for the teen time are they able to commit to a regular testing pattern.

We help young guys to share their experiences around testing and understand why regular testing is important for all sexually active gay men. We work in both a face-to-face capacity as gay as online through social media. Through these gay formats young people are able to discuss concerns around online safety, hooking up and negotiating safe sex practices through boy apps and websites.

The internet is the primary method that most young people learn about sex and sexual health. This is especially true for gay sex that may not be adequately covered in schools or other sex education. For a roster of teen events or to find out how you can get involved, email youth acon. Participating in a workshop is a great way to make new friends in a safe social environment and learn more about identity, coming out, sex and sexual health, HIV, relationships, the LGBTI community and other relevant topics.

There are usually between 10 and 14 guys in each group. Our workshops are facilitated by trained community boy and run over four sessions. Please contact youth acon. It is important to test for HIV often so that anyone who may unknowingly have HIV can start on effective treatments to stay healthy. It is recommended that anyone diagnosed with HIV goes on treatment immediately as this will reduce the level of HIV in the body, maintain a strong immune system and keep the person healthy.

HIV can be transmitted in several ways, but for gay, bi and other men who have sex with men, most infections occur during anal sex without the protection of condoms, PrEP or an undetectable viral load UVL. When left untreated, HIV causes damage to the immune system over time although the precise impact can vary from person to person.

Not everyone will get this illness.

Many people with HIV consider the condition a manageable illness. There are a range of ways to prevent HIV. When PrEP was first introduced, taking it daily was the recommendation for everyone. Since then, research supports the safety of taking PrEP in other ways that are just as effective as daily dosing.

People who are using PrEP should consider maintaining their condom use, particularly for casual partners. Condoms prevent or reduce the exchange of semen, vaginal fluid, or blood between partners during sex. Condoms also offer protection against a range of other sexually transmissible infections STIs.
