ACON Salon is a reading event aimed at raising awareness of HIV and STI prevention for people who identify as LGBTQ+ and their allies aged 18 and over. Ivan Crozier will read excerpts from gay fiction (Jonathan Kemp’s 26) before opening up to the audience to discuss HIV, STIs, risk and sexual health in relation to the stories. The session will provide local, up to date information about accessing sexual health services, testing, prevention, treatment, and stigma-reduction around HIV.
