Sexytime Recap

Our mini health fest was a success! Over 20 guys were vaccinated for Hep B and 65 attended the dinner and discussion on HIV/STD's at Rodizio Grill. After seeing those STD slides during dinner, I for one will never be able to look at juicy sliced meat the same way again.

A big thanks to Planned Parenthood for vaccinating us and Glaxo Smith Kline for providing such an excellent meal and speaker. If you missed your chance to get your Hep B shot, not to worry. We'll be offering free vaccinations again in the coming months.

Btw, gayhealth.com is a great online resource for anyone wanting more in-depth sexual health info.

Gay Sex 101: Hep B

Why should gay men worry about Hep B?

• Because the virus is MOST COMMON among gay men. 2 out of every 5 gay men tested for Hep B in clinics have had the virus. Most of them were not aware of it.
• Hep B is easier to catch than HIV because it is 100 times more concentrated in an infected person's blood and can exist on surfaces outside the body.
• Hep B is responsible for 80% of the world's primary liver cancers.

Hep B is preventable by vaccination. Typically it costs $120, but because we want to help you protect yourself from a preventable disease, we have teamed up with Planned Parenthood to offer the Hep B vaccine FREE at our test site on May 19th. Its part of our Village Sexytime Health Fest!

Save money. Save your life. Get vaccinated!
