Terrence Higgins Trust (THT), the HIV and sexual health charity, will be teaming up with Club and Bar Revenge at their Student Freshers’ Night to promote sexual health and welcome new LGB&T university students to Brighton on Thursday, October 3.
A team from the charity will be in Bar Revenge from 9pm and Club Revenge from 10.30pm, distributing condoms and raising awareness of sexual health at the event, which will be an opportunity to provide information about the ‘It Starts With Me’ HIV prevention campaign and the support that THT provides locally so that students know where to go if they need advice about sexual health during their university years.
Ross Boseley, Health Promotion Coordinator for THT in Brighton, said:
“Freshers in Brighton will no doubt be looking forward to some great years in a fantastic city. We hope that by introducing ourselves to Brighton’s new LGBT students at this event, we can ensure they know where to turn if they ever need advice about HIV or sexual health. Gay and bisexual men are at particularly high risk of HIV, so we’re also hoping that some of the students we meet will pledge their support for the It Starts With Me movement to stop HIV.
“Your student years are some of the most memorable of your life – so if you’re new to the city why not come down and meet the team to help ensure that they are also healthy and happy years!”
Gay and bisexual men remain the group most at risk of HIV in the UK, accounting for half of all new infections in the South East Coast region in 2011.
