Yellow Dot Doctor aims to make sexual health services more accessible and welcoming for MSM

Hello, gentlemen! How often do you think about your health? And just as importantly, when was the last time you seriously considered your sexual health? Well, there’s no better time than now.

It’s always a good time to highlight the importance of health and wellness for all men. We can do this by shining a spotlight on sexual health, especially for men who have sex with men (MSM). This is where we come in, we are Yellow Dot Doctor (www.yellowdotdoctor.co.za) and we are doctors who cannot be shocked because we have heard it all before. You can tell us anything, we mean it! We are especially geared to be a vital resource just for you, men who have sex with men (MSM)!

What is the hype about YDD?

The Yellow Dot Doctor project is a fantastic initiative that aims to make sexual health services more accessible and welcoming for MSM. This project is about educating and raising awareness among doctors in private practice and ensuring they are well equipped to screen, diagnose and retain MSM patients in treatment. Simply put, YDD bridges the gap between you and doctors who truly understand your needs without judgement or bias due to ignorance.
