Our services in Lothian are about improving the sex, health and wellbeing of gay and bisexual men, and all men who have sex with men.
No matter who we work with we promise a welcoming, confidential and supportive service, free from judgement and discrimination. SX has joined with other organisations, including NHS Lothian, in endorsing a series of commitments to ensure that support services for gay and bisexual men are welcoming and inclusive.
