The PASH (Pleasure and Sexual Health) Study is pleased to announce the launch of the first report on the data collected for the PASH Study.

The PASH (Pleasure and Sexual Health) Study is pleased to announce the launch of the first report on the data collected for the PASH Study. This report may be found here at NCHECR (National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research) or at
La Trobe University’s Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health, and Society.

This is the first publication of PASH data and is simply a descriptive report. A more detailed analysis will follow later. The general findings about how gay men responded to issues about their thinking around HIV, risk, and pleasure are quite complex. As a result, the report is rich in information that will help us evaluate our current health climate, and inform us as we move forward.

This is a brief study building on our work with PASH. It covers a few additional issues, such as how men protect themselves from HIV, and what they might consider as future interventions in preventing the spread of the virus. It will take about 15-20 minutes of your time, and will provide us with further insights into our community, and into what we’re learning from the PASH data. Whether or not you were in PASH, this is your chance to participate in this vital research.
