Men are dropping their trousers and showing off their underwear/pants in an effort to raise HIV awareness and funding. In case you haven't heard of it, the drive is called #Pants2HIV, and it should be showing on your Instagram and Twitter timelines by now.

Here are some details from the GMFA site:

Help us say "Pants2HIV"

Last year 3,250 gay men were diagnosed with HIV in the UK.
We believe that gay men need frank, honest and clear information about HIV and sexual health.
GMFA: better health, better choices and great sex.

GMFA makes an impact.

Around 100,000 people visit the GMFA website every month looking for information about the risks involved in sex and ways to have better, safer sex.

Our most recent campaign Think Again reached over 4 million people

Our gay men’s health magazine FS reaches around 100,000 per issue through print, online and mobile apps

However, without your support, all of this could disappear.

GMFA currently receives no government funding for any of our HIV prevention work, including this website.

Here’s how your donation can help:

£5 helps provide 225 gay men with accessible sexual health information and advice on GMFA’s website, www.gmfa.org.uk
£10 helps provide social support to gay men living with HIV
£50 helps fund a social media campaign targeting gay men in ‘high risk’ areas
£100 helps FS magazine reach over 400 readers via print, web and mobile app, providing vital sexual health information.
You can make a donation online by using the donate box at the top of the page OR text GMFA14 and £3, £5 or £10 to 70070.

We need your help to continue to reach more gay men with vital sexual health advice, so we can all make better choices, for better health and have great sex.

And here are some Twitter posts to get you going:
