A number of men were among the founding members of Straight Arrows. There was a strong belief that some support needs of heterosexual men were not adequately being met. Many straight men and their families were isolated and they were not accessing much needed services and treatments. Straight Arrows aims to provide support for metropolitan, regional and country heterosexuals with an HIV infection. We are funded by donations and a government grant.
Members have diverse cultural backgrounds.
Some members are married, others are in relationships. Some are single. Some are parents, and we deal with children ranging from toddlers through primary and secondary school age to adults. Mutual confidentiality, yours and ours, is a condition of membership. As we are located on the Moubray Street side, in Fairfield House, parking and access is very convenient.
