THT Netreach

Terrence Higgins Trust is the largest HIV and sexual heath charity in the UK.

Netreach is a new service from Terrence Higgins Trust for Gaydar users in England and Wales. You might have already come across our outreach workers at a cruising ground, bar or club. We’re now bringing the same service to the internet.

What does Netreach do?

THT’s trained outreach workers are here to offer information and support about HIV and sexual health. If we can’t help you, we’ll try to suggest another organisation who can. The service is confidential and no information that could identify you will be collected.

When are outreach workers available?

Outreach workers can be found on Gaydar at the times below:-

• Monday 13.00 - 16.00 & 19.00 - 22.00
• Tuesday 19.00 - 22.00
• Wednesday 14.00 - 17.00
• Thursday 19.00 - 22.00
• Friday 18.00 - 21.00
• Saturday 13.00 - 16.00
• Sunday 17.00 - 20.00

They will be in the ‘Health info - THT’ chatroom and other chatrooms at those times.
