MESMAC Newcastle works with gay and bisexual men and other men who have sex with men to increase the range of choices open to them. We are funded and managed by Newcastle City Council People Directorate.
MESMAC was established in 1990 to focus mainly on sexual health. However because we do this by using a “community development” approach, it means that we are able to offer more general support and advice about almost anything you might want to talk about or want help with.
Services
We offer free HIV tests, advice and information on many different health issues including Sexual Health, STI’s, Support Groups and much more. We also offer 1-2-1 support and a 5 day a week help line (and answer machine). We work with SHINE (women’s sexual health service) to jointly offer information and signposting to the LGBT community. We work across Newcastle and are based within the City Centre.

- Open to all gay and bisexual men and other men attracted to men.
- For men regardless of HIV status.
