Taking a look : HIV prevention for gay men today
This booklet from AFAO has been produced with the aim of updating gay men on the risks of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the new millennium. The booklet not only covers the basics of HIV transmission, but also addresses more contemporary issues such as the impact of the resurgent STIs epidemics among men who have sex with men in Australia, and information on potential biomedical prevention technologies such as vaccines, microbicides and pre-exposure prophylaxis. The style of the booklet is authoritative, yet playful and sex-positive, using GI Joe models in various positions to help set the mood and tease the eye. You can view the online 'flipflash'version by clicking on the link to the right. |

The Dirty Truth : a book for HIV positive men
The Dirty Truth is a resource for HIV positive men on avoiding Sexually Transmitted Infections. Its use of explicit images and fun style is designed to engage the reader and make it easy for them to become more informed about STIs.
The booklet covers topics such as what STIs are, the interaction between HIV and other STIs, and getting a sexual health check.
Due to its use of sexually explicit material, the booklet has a R18+ rating and comes in a sealed wrapper. Men over the age of 18 can collect their copy from staff at Gay Men's Health or at local venues.

Out Late : a guide for older men coming out
Thousands of men in Australia have had to come to terms with the discovery that they are attracted to other men. For some it may be a new discovery or something they have known for years but felt uncomfortable about openly acknowledging. It can happen at any age and at any life stage, but the older you are and the longer you have been living a straight life, the more challenging it is to come out as a gay man.
Out Late provides information about sexual identity and coming out as an older gay man as well as important information about health and safe sex. |

Living Two-gether?
A law recognising the rights of non-married couples in South Australia took effect on 1 June 2007. The law gives legal rights and duties both to same-sex and opposite sex de facto partners and also to other partners who may not be in a sexual relationship but live together on a genuine domestic basis as a couple. Legal rights and duties automatically arise if the partners have been living together in this way for three years or more. This pamphlet provides an overview of the new law.
The following factsheets are also available online:
What are my rights if my partner dies?.pdf
Domestic Partnerships and Children.pdf
Domestic Partnership Agreements.pdf
Planning for Incapacity.pdf
Separation of Couples.pdf
