From a sexual health perspective there is growing international concern for younger men who have sex with men. Through this seminar, Nathan Lachowsky, PhD Candidate from the University of Guelph, Canada, will share his preliminary research on younger gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in New Zealand based on data from the 2006-2011 Gay Auckland Periodic Sex Survey (GAPSS) and Gay men’s Online Sex Survey (GOSS), including debate on the differences between online- and offline-participation.
This research is an important step in understanding HIV-risk related characteristics of younger men who have sex with men in New Zealand, and building knowledge to help inform evidence-based HIV prevention efforts. This free seminar is open to anyone who would like to attend.
