This feedback will be really useful in reporting to the Department of Health and will support future initiatives and programmes. This is an opportunity for you to influence future initiatives and support services available to gay and bisexual men.

If you received a kit, whether you returned it or not, we would be really grateful if you could e-mail us at the secure address This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with your feedback or your thoughts on the scheme.
