A group of Young Leaders from Terrence Higgins Trust are producing an information booklet on relationships and are looking for input from 13-19 year olds from across the country.
A brief survey is being posted online today at www.tht.org.uk/yoursay so teenagers can pass on their views.
The Young Leaders run a Terrence Higgins Trust project which enables 13-19 year olds to teach their peers about sex and relationships. They want the new booklet to be as useful as possible so are seeking input on everything from the topics covered and the design of the booklet to the name of the booklet and where it should be made available.
Young Leader Porsha Nunes-Brown said “Lessons in school might cover the biology of sex, but few people have been taught about relationships. This booklet is going to be for young people, by young people, so we want to hear what 13-19 year olds would like to see included. If you’re in this age group and would like to help just log on and have your say.”




Terrence Higgins Trust with Age Concern & Help the Aged are launching a survey today to find out the needs and concerns of people living with HIV who are aged over 50.
The United States administration are to overturn the ban on foreign nationals with HIV entering the USA. The ban has been in place since 1987 and will be lifted early next year.
Stonewall has published findings to help employers to support bisexual employees and develop bisexual inclusive policy and procedures.
A ban that prevents gay and bisexual men from giving blood is being reviewed and could be overturned as early as next year, the Government has said.
Throughout October, Terrence Higgins Trust is holding sexual health workshops for gay or bisexual men who are university students in London. The workshops, called ‘What they didn’t tell you at school,’ aim to fill any gaps in knowledge that young gay men might have when it comes to sex and relationships.
