Forum aims: Act as a catalyst to network gay men in serodiscordant relationships. Feed into existing social networks and ongoing support mechanisms. Provide an opportunity for men in or thinking about a serodiscordant relationship to explore issues like managing risk and communication, starting and maintaining a relationship, disclosure, condoms, relationship agreements, testing for HIV, PEP, STI awareness and more. Share their experiences so participants can learn skills to manage the challenges and issues they encounter in their relationships.
Of the forty-six NSW respondents who stated that they recalled the images, ten respondents were able to recall (unprompted) messages that accompanied the images. Of these, nine successfully identified that it related to serodiscordant relationships. Two of these respondents closely recalled the campaign slogan. Another more generally (and not incorrectly) recalled that they thought the campaign was regarding safe sex. Respondents who recalled the images were asked if they could recall the organisation associated with the advertisements. Thirteen respondents recall ACON, eight others correctly recalled Positive Life NSW. If you exclude staff/volunteers, twelve respondents recalled ACON and four Positive Life. Respondents were asked where they had seen the images. Most frequently they reported they had seen it in the gay media. Other places where they recalled seeing the images were at their doctors or sexual health clinics, Talkabout, or gay venues. One-fifth of respondents indicated that they had seen it on the Positive Life website or at a community organisation.
Second advertisement
Sixty-five per cent of respondents identify that the key message of the advertisement is to use condoms. However, another third of the sample had different interpretations. Nine per cent of respondents interpret the key message as saying that if you have undetectable viral load it reduces the risk of HIV transmission and therefore, they concluded, its ok not to use condoms. Another nine per cent of respondents were unsure or confused about what the key message was. Respondents said it is âconfusingâ and âgives mixed messagesâ. Others simply said they âhad no ideaâ, ânot sureâ or âdunnoâ. Three respondents indicated that they thought one of the key messages of the advertisement was to support HIV serodiscordant couples.
The most common word chosen was that there was nothing special about the cartoons. Thirty-seven per cent of respondents chose this word. Slightly less, 33 per cent, said they were ok. Twenty-eight per cent thought they were boring. Other participants had a positive response. Twenty-eight per cent thought they were a good way to make a point, 26 per cent of respondents indicated that they made them laugh and 27 per cent also thought they were cute. Twenty-one per cent of respondents thought they get your attention. An equal number of respondents, 17 per cent each, like and dislike cartoons.
