The urban poster campaign

In November 2016, Santé publique France launched a prevention campaign targeting men who have sex with men through targeted initiatives: posters in community settings (gay bars and clubs), urban areas (bus shelters, shopping centers), national and regional media, social media, and the website.

The website: sexosafe.fr

Sexosafe.fr is a website by Santé publique France. It is intended for the general public, healthcare professionals, and, more broadly, anyone seeking information on HIV and STI prevention among men who have sex with men.

The site offers quick and easy access to prevention information and tools tailored to individual needs and situations through six sections: condoms, testing, PrEP, PEP, PEP, and vaccination.
