The latest issue of U+, THT’s lifestyle magazine for gay men living with HIV, is now out. Alongside all the regular features on how to keep well when it comes to diet, fitness and treatment options, issue 5 focuses on gearing men up for the summer season. From picking out gay friendly destinations, to sorting out travel insurance, U+ has lots of tips and advice to make sure you have a holiday to remember.

The magazine also looks in depth at the pros and cons for men who are thinking about whether to tell people about their HIV status. Chris Sandford from the Mortimer Market Centre looks as some of the barriers to this. And two HIV positive men, Mark and Marcel, tell us how they made the decision about disclosing, and the impact that it had on their lives.

Alongside regular features on diet and exercise, the new issue explores the benefits of yoga and meditation as well as complementary therapies such shiatsu and aromatherapy.

Marc Thompson, Deputy Head of Health Promotion from THT said: “During the  summer months we’re all making holiday plans. Add HIV into the mix and those holiday plans can soon get much more complicated when you think about things like insurance and making sure you’ve got enough meds. Crucially U+ also has lots of info on where to get support on anything to relating to HIV if you need it. 

Bulk copies of U+ are available to order for pubs, clubs and clinics. Single copies are also available. To get hold of your free copy contact Stephen Adair, on 0207 812 1783 or email stephen.adair@tht.org.uk

U+ magazine is published as part of the CHAPS national partnership programme - a partnership of community-based organisations, co-ordinated by Terrence Higgins Trust, delivering HIV prevention and sexual health initiatives to gay men and bisexual men in England & Wales.
