Fast Track Syphilis

Syphilis - It's Back and it's not going away...

You can get a fast track syphilis test and result, without having to have any other sexual history or sexual health screening done. The fast track test is a finger prick test and the result is available in 20 minutes.
Fast Track syphilis testing is available during all Steve Retson Project clinics.

Sexual Health Framework for gay men:

Please tell Glasgow Health Board what you think about its proposals for gay men's sexual health. We need to hear your views: the on-line survey is brief and easy to complete. Please click on the link below to access the form.

Johnny Duffy or Robert Green now take bookings for the Project directly on 0141 211 8628 during office hours. If you get through to the main Sandyford switchboard on 0141 211 8628 please ask for the Project specifically. Current wait is about one to two weeks for a booked doctor appointment, but we will always see people same day if symptoms demand. There is no real wait for appointments with the Health Adviser or for counselling assessment

Up to four slots are available after 9 am Tuesday mornings for pre-test discussion. Results are available at 5:30pm in the main Project. It is much better to pre-book.

Homophobic crime is often not reported to the police. We are collaborating with Strathclyde Police, and the Glasgow Women's Library and have set up a 'third party reporting service'. Essentially this is a way of informing the police an incident has happened without giving a statement in person. They can use the information to detect patterns of crime and increase patrols. You can report any incident which is perceived to be homophobic by the victim or any other person. Incidents can be anything from homophobic name-calling to physical or sexual assault. Victims may be lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgendered or straight or perceived to be or mistaken for any of these.

To access this service come in to any of the Steve Retson Project clinics and speak in person to one of the Host helpers who will fill in a Homophobic Crime Referral form. You can give as much or as little personal information as you wish.

All victims of homophobic crime/incidents will be dealt with in a sensitive and professional manner and the police will investigate thoroughly all complaints of a homophobic nature made to them.
