GAY MEN'S TASK FORCE
OUR MISSION
Working to provide sensitive, appropriate and comprehensive health messages and interventions aimed at improving the overall health of gay & Bisexual men in Montana. Our vision is to help gay men create lives for themselves worth protecting with bold and fearless conviction.
The Gay Men's Task Force is made up of gay men from across the state of Montana. We meet three times a year in person and several times a year via conference calls.
The Task Force organizes retreats for gay men, HIV+ men, and young gay men as well as Native Americans. We also advise and make recommendations to the Governor's AIDS Council, and publish VISIONS, a newsletter for the Native American community.
We supply free condoms and information on STDs, HIV, and Hep C. Also available are brochures on drug abuse and alcohol abuse. We have a list of speakers dealing with Safe Sex, Harm Reduction, HIV+, and Drugs and their Effects on Safe Sex.
The Task Force puts out a survey each year that collects information from the gay and bisexual community. This helps us identify current trends in HIV/AIDS, alcohol and drug abuse, safe sex and condom use. This information is used to determine the best way to reach and inform gay and bisexual men in Montana about safe sex and harm reduction.
