Drug and sex

• How Hard: aims to provide relevant information for gay men and men who have sex with men about sexual health, sexual practices and drug use – and how sex when partying can be done safely.
• Down and Dirty: provides information about sex and partying. The website gives gay men and men who have sex with men the opportunity to interact and ask questions in regards to sexual practices and drug use.

Alcohol & Other Drugs Program: aims to reduce the harms associated with drug and alcohol use within the LGBTI community through research, training, workshops and campaigns.
