GET ON IT - THE HASSLE FREE CLINIC AND SEXUAL HEALTH CENTRE'S NEW CAMPAIGN
When and where to get tested for HIV and/or syphilis in Canada
The goal of the "Get on it" campaign is to educate gay and bisexual men about issues relating to HIV and syphilis testing. Our aim is to provide gay and bi guys with the information they need to make an informed decision about whether or not they need to be tested for HIV and syphilis, and when to be tested.
By expanding gay and bisexual men's knowledge about when they should be testing for HIV and syphilis, along with increased access to testing sites, the "Get on it" campaign aims to reduce the number of gay and bi guys who have HIV and/or syphilis but don't know it, thereby promoting access to treatment and reducing further transmissions.
