    Health4Men

    Health4Men

    Anova’s Health4Men initiative is one of the first projects on the continent to draw considerable attention to and address the sexual health needs of men who have sex with men in the context of HIV.

    Anova's Health4Men clinics have developed innovative services and programmes to address the ‘gap’ in HIV prevention and care by providing sexual health services for MSM.
