Biographical / Historical
The HIV Comeback Tour was launched by NHS Lothian in 2006 amid concern that people were becoming complacent about HIV. The campaign was aimed towards gay and bisexual men, and promoted regular tesing and condom use. It was promoted through posters on buses and in public venues, and resulted in a rise in clinic attendance and HIV testing. A second phase, launched in November 2007, challenged assumptions people can make when emtering into a new partnership. Gay Men's Health, Waverley Care, Positive Voice, and LGBT Youth.
