Gayhealth is a unique entity within AfA that built itself as a community based organization, that wants to help improve the sexual health and services to Gay/Bi/MSM community through advocacy and empowerment.

Getting To 0
To keep up with the ever evolving needs of the gay community, we overhauled Singapore’s pioneering and most comprehensive Men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) Programme (what a mouthful) to gayhealth.sg. With one objective in mind: to achieve zero.

Community Based
We believe in a collaborative approach that involves people throughout the entire process of program or project planning & execution. The unique strengths that each person brings help us build a resilient and adaptive community.

What We Do
With our team of dedicated volunteers, we pull together individuals, families, friends and businesses to form a system of care that provides relevant and holistic services and programmes so you can be in the pink of health.
About AFA
Formed in 1988, the organisation has been instrumental at raising public awareness of HIV/AIDS and provision of support and assistance for persons living with HIV infection. 28 years on, AfA continues to be a lead and deliver complex prevention and care programmes in a globalised and connected society that requires greater coordination and collaboration.
We are doing it better as we move into a new era of HIV/AIDS .
Meet The Team
Daniel Le
Daniel has been advocating and working on improving HIV/STIs education and prevention with the MSM community for over 9 years. His passion comes from within and fosters an anti-oppressive framework when working with the MSM communities by promoting healthy sexuality through various educational workshops.
Calvin Tan
Calvin is the fifth and currently the youngest Singaporean who has come out publicly as a person living with HIV. Diagnosed when he was 19, Calvin has participated in various private events and talks, showing to the public that HIV does not hinder him in any means through his insight and optimism. He believes that being honest and responsible for his own choices in life is the key to living on.
Avin Tan
Avin is a person living with HIV (PLHIV), and has been working with AFA to raise the awareness of HIV/AIDS in Singapore. Following Mr. Paddy Chew, he is the second Singaporean living with HIV who has come out publicly.
We are a team of dedicated advocates, ready to do what ever it takes to achieve the mission of Zero. So don’t be shy, get in touch! If you would like to join our team as a volunteer, drop us an e-mail today!
