An increasing amount of Surinamese people are getting tested for HIV. It is free and always with guidance at various organization, the Dermatological Service, all the clinics of the RGD and the Medical Mission.
The foundation Suriname Men United promotes a healthy lifestyle for MSM and TG in Suriname, including safe sex. Therefore, the foundation regularly provides condoms and lubricant to the visitors of gay events in Paramaribo.
The health navigators are available for MSM and TG, especially those who are HIV positive. During the guidance there is a systematical approach, based on the first conversation the health navigators will make a plan of the help that is needed.
SMU provides a safe environment for MSM and TG, where you can go to relax or to have a conversation with one of the health navigator. At our safe space you have the opportunity to be free and relax as MSM or TG and to talk with your friends.
MSM and TG still encounter difficulties and problems on a daily basis trying to openly acknowledge their sexual feelings. Pressure from parents and sometimes religious parents, colleagues, their school and friends, play a huge role.
For MSM and TG, SMU provides legal assistance in cases where they are discriminated against based on their sexual orientation. If they feel they have experienced this discrimination they can get in contact with foundation.
