Abstract:
These are GMSH’s five priorities for the 2014 general election – "5 for ‘14" - to improve the sexual health of gay and bisexual men in New Zealand. Although it focusses on gay and bisexual men, many priorities are relevant to the health of the broader gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex (GLBTI) population. 1. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination should be publicly funded for gay and bisexual males 2. District Health Boards should expand free and comprehensive specialist sexual health services 3. More General Practices should offer safe, relevant and appropriate care for GLBTI individuals 4. Government Official Statistics should routinely collect and report data on the health of GLBTI 5. Sexual health and HIV policy framework should be strengthened
