Moving to a new country can bring exciting promises of a new life. If you're a gay or bisexual man, Gay Britain, with its tolerant attitudes, can feel liberating and exhilarating. But settling in isn't always easy.

Every country has a different ways of doing things. There are obvious challenges when moving somewhere new, like learning the language and finding work and somewhere to live. Then there are the different laws, customs and culture to get to grips with.

Staying safe and well

If you're a man who has sex with other men there are other issues. These include threats to your health and well-being from HIV, sexually transmitted infections, drugs and alcohol.

The information on this website is designed to help you stay safe and well, while getting the most out of living here.

Working with gay men or migrants?

The website has information for people who either work with
HIV and sexual health organisations
or
specialist organisations that provide services for immigrants. This should help you to provide appropriate advice and support to men who may access your services.
