Nobody will know you were here

No cookies, no analytics, no ads, no third-party requests. Nothing about you is recorded. And there is a quick-exit button.

Exactly how we protect you

The three things nobody told you

Everything here is written in plain language, checked against official sources, and free forever.

Mental health

Coming out, shame, loneliness, a family that does not understand, anxiety, depression. How to find a therapist who will not try to “cure” you.

Enter

Sexual health

What biology class should have covered. Sex without fear, condoms and lube, sexually transmitted infections, testing, consent.

Enter

HIV & PrEP

What PrEP is, where to get it in Bulgaria and what it costs. Why HIV is not the end today. What “undetectable = untransmittable” means. What to do within 72 hours.

What we wanted to hear back then

Being gay is okay.

Having HIV is okay.

Meeting people who do not understand is okay too — everyone moves at their own pace.

What matters is realising it, and setting off down your own road of self-love. That road is what lets you keep the kindness in you, instead of going dark and letting life grind you down.

It looks like the end of everything when you are young and shut out of life. Then you blink and you are ten years older, in your own home, next to the person you love. And it is good. It is good because one day you decided to stay.

And more

Your rights

What Bulgarian law says — and what it does not. How to file a discrimination complaint.

Organisations

Who actually does what. Honestly, without the marketing.

Confessions

Real stories from Bulgarians who were at the bottom and are not any more.

We are not new

Gay and lesbian lives in history, in science, and in Bulgaria. And the memory of those we lost.

Stickers

Copy and drop them in the chat. Not everything has to be serious.

Thank-you box

What are you grateful for today? Even something small.

Why we exist at all

  • Because it was unbearably hard to work out what PrEP is and where to get it.
  • Because nobody told us that on treatment HIV becomes untransmittable, and that life carries on.
  • Because the information that does exist is scattered across websites from 2008 that barely open and read like an EU grant report.
  • Because everyone deserves to find the answer in five minutes, not five years.
