Survey Updates & Results
The results of this survey will only be as good as the benefit they provide back to gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. This is more than just a research study. It´s a project that seeks to involve a range of stakeholders with an interest in the health and well-being of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, especially men themselves and those working with them.
The point of this project is to build interest and momentum within men´s communities, public health, and research and to use the survey results to:
- better understand how HIV and other sexually transmitted infections are affecting the local communities
- influence the development of policies that support the health and well-being of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men
- inform and support programs and services that aim to improve the sexual health of men in our communities
Results from the survey are in and we will post all of our reports, presentations, and findings on this page as they become available. We would like to hear what you have to say—you can share your comments and feedback on the study in the Contact Us section.
So count yourself in. And stay tuned!
