GMFA was founded in 1992, as Gay Men Fighting AIDS. GMFA’s goal was to produce HIV prevention campaigns that reflect the lives, experiences and needs of gay men.
GMFA’s work includes projects designed by and for gay men living with HIV, including advertising campaigns, booklets and an information website at www.gmfa.org.uk/positive. GMFA also plays host to Positive 21, a new peer support group for gay and bisexual men living with HIV. Positive 21 aims to provide support in a relaxed and friendly environment, helping its members address the issues faced by those living with the virus in the 21st Century. The group meets every Monday evening at GMFA’s offices near Old Street, London. If you would like to know more about the group, visit www.positive21.org.uk.
