We’re excited to let you know that Sex Now 2024 is coming to you to The 519

Sex Now is Canada’s largest and longest running survey of 2 Spirit, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer men and non-binary people’s health. Originating at Pride festivals across British Columbia in 2002, Sex Now has been administered both online and in-person at events and has become an essential source of data on the health and well-being of 2S/GBTQ in Canada. The study is community-based (led by 2S/GBTQ community members) and data from the survey have been instrumental in advocating for a ban to conversion therapy practices in Canada and to reform Canada’s blood donation policy for trans people and men who have sex with men.

Sex Now 2024: Coming to You will be conducted in partnership between Community-Based Research Centre, the Public Health Agency of Canada, and local community organizations across the country. Participants will be asked to complete an electronic survey on a tablet or their own device, which will ask questions related to their sex life, substance use, mental health, service access and more. Participants will also have the option of providing a small blood sample via finger prick to screen for HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, and hepatitis B as part of the study and will be provided with $10 cash as a thank you for their time.
