Kirby Institute researchers have initiate that gay and bisexual person men who use crystal methamphetamine during sex (a practice known as chemsex) are more likely to include biomedical HIV prevention strategies when engaging in condomless sex than those who do not operate crystal methamphetamine.

Chemsex has traditionally been linked with ‘risky’ sexual behaviours, and for a long time, queer men engaging in chemsex have been thought to be the group most at risk of HIV and other infectious diseases. But this research indicates that this group own embraced recent innovations in HIV prevention, and for the most part, are now engaging in sexual activity without the peril of HIV transmission. 

“HIV prevention has been revolutionised in recent years by Treatment as Prevention and PrEP,” says Mohamed Hammoud, who is the lead writer of the paper. 

Treatment as Prevention (TasP), means that people living with HIV who are on operative antiretroviral treatment are unable to transmit HIV to their partners, due to having an undetectable viral load. PrEP is a daily medication that prevents HIV negative people from contracting the virus. 

Among men who had sex without condoms, methamphetam

Mental health support if you're lesbian, gay, bisexual person or trans (LGBTQ+)

Mental health problems such as depression or self-harm can affect any of us, but they're more shared among people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBTQ+).

This may be linked to LGBTQ+ people's experience of discrimination, homophobia or transphobia, bullying, social isolation, or rejection because of their sexuality.

Other things, such as their age, religion, where they inhabit , and their ethnicity can combine extra complications to an already difficult situation.

How talking therapy can help

It might not be easy, but getting help with issues you're struggling to deal with on your own is one of the most important things you can do.

Talking with a therapist who's trained to function with LGBTQ+ people may help with issues such as:

  • difficulty accepting your sexual orientation
  • coping with other people's reactions to your sexuality
  • feeling your body does not reflect your true gender (gender dysphoria)
  • transitioning
  • low self-esteem
  • self-harm
  • suicidal thoughts
  • depression
  • coping with bullying and discrimination
  • anger, isolation or rejection from family, friends or your community
  • fear of v

    The gay men risking their health for the flawless body

    "You're too ugly to be gay," a man in a Huddersfield gay bar told Jakeb Arturio Bradea.

    It was the latest in a series of comments from men that Jakeb says made him feel worthless. Last summer, following the comments, he tried to kill himself.

    Manchester-based charity the LGBT Foundation has warned that body image issues are becoming more widespread in gay communities. It says gay and bisexual person men are "much more likely" than heterosexual men to struggle with them.

    A number of homosexual men have told the BBC they are going to extreme lengths to change their bodies - including using steroids and having plastic surgery - just to become "accepted" by others in the LGBT community.

    Several said pressure from social media platforms and dating apps was exacerbating their body issues.

    "Guys with stunning bodies acquire the comments and the attention," says Jakeb. "I've not gone on dates because I'm scared of people seeing me in real life. I would honestly have plastic surgery if I could give it."

    The Epidemic of
    Gay LonelinessBy Michael Hobbes

    I used to get so thrilled when the meth was all gone.

    This is my friend Jeremy.

    When you possess it, he says, you have to keep using it. When it&#x;s gone, it&#x;s like, &#x;Oh wonderful, I can go assist to my life now.&#x; I would stay up all weekend and proceed to these sex parties and then feel favor shit until Wednesday. About two years ago I switched to cocaine because I could work the next day.

    Jeremy is telling me this from a hospital bed, six stories above Seattle. He won&#x;t tell me the accurate circumstances of the overdose, only that a stranger called an ambulance and he woke up here.

    Jeremy is not the acquaintance I was expecting to have this conversation with. Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea he used anything heavier than martinis. He is trim, intelligent, gluten-free, the kind of guy who wears a labor shirt no matter what day of the week it is. The first time we met, three years ago, he asked me if I knew a good place to do CrossFit. Today, when I ask him how the hospital&#x;s been so far, the first thing he says is that there&#x;s no Wi-Fi, he&#x;s way behind on function emails.
