Planning meeting of the MSM prevention group of AIDS-Hilfe Stuttgart e.V.

MSM Prevention Group
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are the largest group primarily affected by HIV/AIDS. The MSM prevention group of AIDS-Hilfe Stuttgart e.V. is responsible for HIV prevention work among MSM, among others.
To this day, men who have sex with men (MSM) – i.e., gay and bisexual men – are most affected by HIV/AIDS in Germany and account for the largest proportion of new diagnoses with the HI virus. Accordingly, it makes sense to provide special information/prevention services on HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. One of these services for target-group-specific prevention work for MSM is the MSM prevention group of AIDS-Hilfe Stuttgart e.V., which provides information at locations and events where men who have sex with men prefer to meet.
As part of the Gentle Man campaign (www.gentle-man.eu) by the Baden-Württemberg AIDS organizations and the “ICH WEISS WAS ICH TU” campaign (www.iwwit.de) by the German AIDS organization, MSM in and around Stuttgart are reached through targeted prevention approaches by the MSM prevention group of AIDS-Hilfe Stuttgart e.V.
Members of the MSM prevention group visit relevant parties, other events such as CSDs, and venues/event locations of the “Gay Scene”. There, information materials on HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, as well as condoms and other giveaways, are made available/distributed.
