We are The Eddystone Trust and we believe that the topic of "sex" doesn't have to be the elephant in the room. It's our view that experiencing positive sexual health should be a right for everyone, including you.
Look after your sexual elf this Christmas 🎄🎅🧑‍🎄

PrEP is a pill that prevents HIV and is up to 99% effective when taken correctly. It’s available free on the NHS.

If you’ve been meaning to look into PrEP, now’s a great time to start.
