Rates of HIV continue to rise among gay and bi men. The majority of gay and bi men remain HIV negative. We celebrate that, and believe that can be the start of a healthy lifestyle.

Project HIM is a revolutionary gay, bi, and trans men’s health project developed right here in Iowa. We’re passionate people whose mission is to stop HIV in its tracks.

No more shame, no more guilt – we want to bring everyone to the table, from all walks of life, all types of guys, barebackers and condom users alike, to celebrate our strengths as gay, bi, and trans men. No matter what you’re doing, we can help you have the least risk possible.

By focusing on what’s healthy and sexy about us, and by bringing together a team of well-connected guys from the community, we use enticing events and engaging videos of local guys to promote testing and overall wellness. Our website provides a platform for men to improve their health, as well as share their stories; we celebrate the positives and provide opportunities to grow.

Healthy. Strong. Aware. Project HIM believes in addition to improving the overall health of Iowa men, HIV/STD testing and awareness of status will become part of every Iowa man’s routine healthcare.
