MenAtPlay - Play safe campaign
What's the link between MenAtPlay and NAT?
MenAtPlay supports NAT because of the work we're doing to stop the spread of HIV and improve the quality of life of people living with HIV.
NAT works with MenAtPlay because they take a responsible approach to promoting safer sex.
For gay and bisexual men, this is really important:
- 1 in 20 gay men in the UK have HIV. This rises to 1 in 10 in London and 1 in 8 in Brighton.
- Over a quarter of gay men with HIV don't know that they're infected.
- Only just over half of gay men in the UK have ever had an HIV test - compared to over 85% in Australia.
