That’s why we need #HarmReduction.

That’s why we need #HarmReduction. 🫰🫶

For some people, #Chemsex is part of their sex lives. That’s why it’s important that we stay informed and make safer choices. The #ChemsexPH study (Olete et al., 2024) highlights the importance of integrating harm reduction approaches into public health strategies to improve health outcomes and encourage people to engage with healthcare, HIV testing, and support services.

At HASH and Safe Play Tayo, we believe that pleasure deserves CARE. Pride is also about access: stigma-free HIV services, harm reduction, and healthcare that respects queer lives. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

🧐 It’s important to remember that this study was a one-time survey and provides only a snapshot of the situation. We should continue to understand the risks and learn how to reduce harm so we can make safer choices and protect our health.
