Over 50s story cards

As part of the local sexual health strategy the Sexual Health and Harm reduction team have developed a sexual health promotion project aimed at the over 50s. It involves the production of 12 small story cards each of which features a different character who tells their particular experiences around HIV, sexual health and relationships. It works on the principal of using real people’s stories to engage their peers.

The cards also include local Manchester information about where to get tested for HIV and STIs and where to go for support.

The overall aim of these cards is to promote good sexual health in the over 50s and particularly to:

  • raise HIV and STI awareness amongst the over 50s in Manchester
  • decrease stigma around HIV
  • encourage people to get tested for HIV and STIs
  • reduce onward transmission
  • encourage safer sex practices

It also has an accompanying ‘Toolkit’ in a PDF document which has been devised to provide background information and to facilitate discussion around the issues raised in each story.
