Men on Men is our signature course and covers and explores a wide range of issues relating to sexuality, self and sexual health. The course is open to all men age 18 and over who have sex with or are attracted to other men (regardless of if they identify as gay, bi, straight or whatever!!).

A $4000 voucher from Flight Centre is up for grabs. If you're a guy over 18, have had sex with another guy in the past 12 months and live in Perth, Melbourne or Sydney -  participate in the CONNECT study and go into the draw.

In the past couple of months, two new men have been employed for two very different positions at the WA AIDS Council.
After a review of the roles undertaken within the Diverse Sexuality Health Promotion Team (DSHPS)  it was decided to create a position that looked specifically at outreach and the services associated with that and the second position to have a specific focus on young gay and sexually diverse young men between 18 and 25.

Maybe you’ve got great HIV risk reduction strategies in place – always use condoms for anal sex whether you’re the top or the bottom – but there was that night, not long ago, when both you and the guy you brought home were a bit pissy and you can’t remember if you used a condom. Or, maybe you’ve done the talk-test-test-trust strategy with the new love-of-your-life, and now the rubbers are off with the boyfriend, and on with everyone else.

It was about 18 months ago that we first started talking about a syphilis outbreak that was threatening to get out of control here in Perth and since that time we have seen those numbers reduce through letting the community know, people getting tested, early detection and then treatment for those who needed it. The community really got behind this information and should be congratulated for understanding that to contain this sort of outbreak testing is such an important element of good sexual health.

Sebastian and I spent a large part of our summer on what the WA AIDS Council (WAAC) calls The Beat Project or, as Sebastian’s friends like to call it, ‘Gaywatch.’

More than 400 guys have been through the M Clinic doors in our first six months of operation, suggesting the word is getting out there and that men are taking their sexual health seriously. It also shows amazing support for which we are extremely grateful. We would like to say a big thank you to the community and to welcome everyone to 2011.

Unfortunately domestic abuse happens within relationships in our community. It is important to know the signs and dynamics of an abusive/violent relationship and what to do if you, or a friend, is in a volatile, dangerous, and abusive situation.

Attack at Burswood Park.

A man was attacked in the early hours of Sunday morning across the road from the Burswood Casino at G O Edwards Park, Burswood. The attack occurred at around 4:30am, January 9, 2011.

The man was approached by an indigenous man who engaged him in conversation. The man reported he was then set upon by four other men who appeared from nowhere.

The man reported to the WA AIDS Council that the five attackers bashed him, knocked him to the ground unconscious, robbed him and then smashed the windows of his vehicle smashed. He was extremely distraught and wanted to warn others of the dangers of this particular park. He has reported the attack to the police and his car is currently being inspected by forensics to collect evidence in order to press charges against the perpetrators of the cowardly attack.

G O Edwards Park is infamous for its attacks late at night and early in the morning. Although guys may not be accessing the park for beat purposes, knowledge that it is a beat makes it a prime target for opportunistic attacks like this.

If you would like to learn more about cruising safely, how to go about reporting a violent attacks or your rights at outdoor cruising venues, please check out the workshop section of this website for the upcoming Cruising workshop or contact the WAAC on 9482 0000 during normal working hours.

How many times have you heard people say that there are not enough gay venues in Perth, and that some of our gay venues are becoming too straight? Perth’s gay community, like all communities, always changes and evolves; people come and go, every now and then a new club comes along then closes, new community groups pop up and the Pride Parade shrinks and expands.
