We would like to remind you of an upcoming event: The GayBombay Sunday Meet! Date: 5 June 2005. Time: 4.00PM - 6:30PM.
SUBJECT: STDs and SEXUAL HEALTH! Venue: Hotel Imperial Palace;Telli Galli;Andheri(East);Mumbai 400069. - How to get there: Hotel Imperial Palace, in which Zouk is located, is a 5 minute walk from Andheri station on the East side. Walk up the Andheri Kurla Road (towards the Highway) and turn right into Telli Gulli. It's the 3rd building on your right. But if you're driving and taking the Andheri flyover, from West to East, make a left turn at the signal at the end of the flyover. Or if you're driving on the highway make a left turn at the Andheri flyover road and a right turn at the signal before the flyover. This is Telli Galli. Almost towards the end of this road, close to Andheri Kurla Road (perpendicular to Telli Gulli) is Hotel Imperial Palace on your left. Time: 4.00-6.30. The actual meeting will happen strictly from 5.00 to 6.30; so please try and be there on time. _________________________________________ Feeling itchy down there? Found some disturbing boils or rash? Heard about herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, syphilis and many other nasties, but not too sure what they are and how to avoid them, or deal with them if you have them? Welcome to a GB special session that you probably won't want to attend, but very probably should. This Sunday evening's GB meet will be on Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and sexual health and hygiene. It will be conducted by Dr.P, a top city doctor in this area (no pun intended!) and gay himself, so you can ask ask whatever you want without blushing. This is actually the third time we will be doing this session and Dr.P informs me that he has streamlined it even further. For those who remember the first one, it was a rather technical session that perhaps left some confused with all the medical terminology. The second time we did it about two years back, Dr.P had improved it hugely with an excellent computer presentation. Now he tells me he's trying to make it even more useful by focussing less on the medical nastinesses, which got everyone feeling slightly ill with its STD freakshow parade, and more on the more positive and directly helpful aspects of how best to maintain sexual health and genital hygiene. So if you think you're too squeamish for this event, relax, its not going to be too bad. But it sure is going to be useful. One other piece of good news - we have a great new venue which is airconditioned! Please note that there is NO cost for the participants. All costs will be taken care of by GB. If you have questions you'd like Dr.P to consider in advance - or if you can't make it for the meeting, but still want to ask questions - you can post them on this list! See you there! ______________ Note : 1. You have to be above the age of 18 to attend this event. 2. GB as a support group, has created this comfort/safe space for gays, many of whom may be "newbies" (those still coming to terms with their sexuality and who have mustered courage to come for such a meeting for the first time). So we request you to be sensitive to the comfort levels of others attending the meeting and behave and dress accordingly. 3. Please ask the hotel reception to direct you to the meet. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> In low income neighborhoods, 84% do not own computers.
