HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) Cymru is reminding visitors to Swansea Pride (Saturday 27th June) not to put their sexual health at risk by getting carried away with the party mood. As the official charity of Swansea Pride 2009, THT Cymru staff and volunteers will be out in force throughout the day, promoting the safer sex message and handing out condoms to the crowds at Singleton Park. There will be charity collection points across the site, with all funds raised coming to Sygnet and the THT Cymru hardship fund. THT Cymru will also be operating a stand at the park, where festival-goers can pick up free condoms, along with advice and information, including where to get tested if they have put themselves at risk.
