Welcome to the health and wellbeing website from the Gay Men’s Team of Positive East.
We provide services for all men who have sex with men (gay, bisexual and those who do not identify as gay) in the East London area.

We provide support around a range of issues, including sexual health, HIV information, sexual identity, discrimination and homophobia, cultural and religious issues and lifestyle.

We also provide a wide range of social and support groups for a variety of different communities. For all of our groups, we suggest that you come along for an introductory informal chat before attending your first group.

You can find out about all the work we do by using the navigation buttons along the top of the page.

To contact the Gay Men's team, email us or phone the Positive East Stepney Centre on 0207 791 2855.
