Servicing the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community

OUT provides direct health services to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, MSM, sex workers, and injecting drug users, including HIV testing, counselling, treatment and general lifestyle advice and support.

OUT has been in existence for more than 21 years and is dedicated to the building of healthy and empowered LGBT communities in South Africa and internationally, while reducing hetrosexism and homophobia in society.

Training

OUT offers exciting sensitisation training on LGBT issues and human sexuality to health care workers, service providers and other interested parties.

It sensitises service providers to understand the needs of LGBT individuals – including Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) and Women who have Sex with Women (WSW) – and equips them with expert knowledge in rendering services to their clients. It is provided by experts in the field of sexuality and on-going mentoring is available. The trainings are offered both nationally and internationally.
