Do you inject performance and image enhancing drugs?

We are seeking gay men and men who have s*x with men who are 18 years or older and have injected performance and image enhancing drugs (PIEDs) in the past 12 months.

We are keen to hear from you. The purpose of the study is to learn about your experiences of injecting PIEDs, how you make decisions about your use, your health knowledge and ways of managing risks.

Participation is confidential and anonymous. It involves a one-on-one, conversational style, recorded interview. It will take about 1 hour to complete and you will be reimbursed $50 for your time.

Please contact [email protected] or 0413 952 169.
