A CAMPAIGN is under way to offer gay and bi-sexual men in the North-East free immunisations and health screenings.

Newcastle Primary Care Trust GUM Clinic has joined forces with the Gay and bi-sexual men's organisation, Mesmac, to offer a satellite clinic for free Hepatitis B immunisation and syphilis screening.

The clinic, which will be open between 4pm and 7pm every Wednesday until May 17, is situated at Mesmac North-East, on Nelson Street, Newcastle.

Men are invited to attend for confidential advice about their sexual health and have a free vaccination.
