World Aids Day!

So this morning, an excitement spread throughout the 'No Risks' office... No, not because it's a month today until Christmas.. but because our order of goodies from Terrance Higgins Trust have arrived in preparation of 'World Aids Day' which takes place on 1st December!

We are planning an exciting event in Ipswich town centre and we are loaded with balloons, posters, red ribbons, stickers and temporary tattoos all branded with this years theme of 'StandUpStandOut'

So.. If you can raise some cash by Standing Up & Standing Out, by organising a wear it red day in your school/college/office... or simply by selling red ribbons then THT pledge to....

• Continue to provide vital care and support for people living with HIV and their families.
• Raise awareness of HIV to those most at risk to help prevent further spread of the virus.
• Spend every penny you raise wisely.

So in essence.. we get to do the easy bit! And THT do the rest and continue their hardwork and wonderful support for people with HIV by providing telephone support, HIV testing and post exposure treatment, education, councelling and MUCH MUCH more!

Wherever you are and whatever you plan to do remember that the money you raise will make a massive difference to THT, every penny really does help...

Stay safe..

I *must* get around to Blogging....

And FINALLY... here I am, catching up with the blog...


'No Risks' HQ has been rushed off our feet with various goings-on. Last week we notched up a total of 141 C-Card registrations at Farlingaye High School, over the course of 2 lunch time sessions. The young people were brilliant to work with and now have access to free condoms and chlamydia testing, not only within their school environment, but also throughout Suffolk!

We can now also announce that we have four new Sexual Health Advisors, who will be manning the 0300 123 3650 telephone number and who will be able to not only create and amend your appointments but following the appropriate Level 1 training, will also be able to offer contraceptive advice too!

Tomorrow I'll be out at UCS participating in their 'Cakes & Condoms' event.. obviously UCS will be providing the cakes and we will bring along the condoms.. What more could you UCS students possibly want?!?

Next week I will be back at Kesgrave High School, doing a DOUBLE WHAMMY of registrations!! Lets see if we can top the Farlingaye record! :)

Okay all... STI of the Week will be back up and running later this week... suggestions welcome.. Remember, if you need any STI or relationship advice please visit the No Risks website.

Take Care,
