Health Alerts for Gay and Bi Men in Pennsylvania

Gay and bisexual guys in the Pennsylvania continue to face widespread health issues: A syphilis epidemic among guys who find sexual partners in chat rooms, a growing meth epidemic, and a critical lack of hepatitis B vaccinations are all matters of serious concern. One of the reasons why these problems occur and continue to flourish is because of a lack of media attention.

In order to combat this lack of important information, the University of Pittsburgh's Pitt Men's Study and the Pennsylvania Prevention Project now offer free health alerts via an email listserv.

Those who sign up for the service will receive a brief email written by experts in the field. The messages will also include links to trusted sites with additional information. Topics may include syphilis, anal cancer, hepatitis B, eating disorders, tobacco addiction, and the growing methamphetamine epidemic – anything that is of vital importance to the health and wellness of gay and bisexual men in Pennsylvania.

Individuals interested in subscribing to the service can do so by sending an email to PittMensStudyHealthAlerts@stophiv.pitt.edu with the word subscribe in the subject line.

Subscribers will then receive a confirmation message to verify their email address. Members can unsubscribe at any time, and email addresses will be kept confidential – they will NOT be given out to other organizations or businesses.
