Gay Men's Sexual Health Alliance

We're working across the province to increase access to the health services we need to have the sex we want.

The Gay Men’s Sexual Health Alliance (GMSH) champions the health of 2GBTQ+ men in Ontario. We lead the development of cutting-edge sexual health promotion resources and collaborate with HIV service organizations and other service providers in Ontario to ensure 2GBTQ+ men have the information, supports and services they need to have the sex they want.

There are just some things that you really shouldn’t be late for: a flight, a job interview, a broadway show ⏰

But when it comes to taking your daily oral HIV PrEP pills, you have a little bit of wiggle room 😮‍💨 It may not be ideal, but you don’t need to panic and throw your whole routine away!

Taking it around the same time of day is best, and so is not missing doses, but you will still keep some amount of protection and that’s better than none at all.

SWIPE RIGHT for more info >>>

Our pal 🍑 breaks it down with 💊 in this post carousel and offers some great tips for building your daily medication into your daily routine. 🗓️

And keep an eye out for changes in availability to longer lasting injectible PrEP, which is slowly gaining ground in Canada (but can be expensive currently)! 👀

Not to toot our own horn but here at the *xualhealthalliance we have a reputation for having some pretty sick merch 😎

These “gay is good.” t-shirts were a small run that went along with our iconic collab with designs on stickers and totes that you can occasionally spot out on the street! 🤩

We’ve got some new merch ideas in the works so keep your eyes peeled for our presence on the ground!

We’ve got another great reminder from our friends at *xfluent.ca on what ✨Consistency is Key✨ when it comes to taking your HIV medications as prescribed when you’re living with HIV 🗓️🖊️

HIV treatment known as ART (Anti-Retroviral Therapy) is crucial to reducing the amount of virus in your body and protecting your immune system, and overall health.

And that’s an act of self-love! 💕 Think of HIV treatment as another method of protection. When your viral load drops to the point that it becomes undetectable, you’re getting the best protection for yourself and your partners!

For more info and support, visit Sexfluent.ca

———

Si tu vis avec le VIH, il est essentiel de suivre un traitement antirétroviral (TAR) pour maintenir ta charge virale indétectable et protéger ta santé.

Le traitement du VIH consiste avant tout à prendre soin de sa santé, ce qui est un acte d’amour de soi. Vois le traitement contre le VIH comme une autre méthode de protection. Le fait d’avoir une charge virale indétectable vous protège, toi et tes partenaires!

Everyone knows that when a gay guy bleaches his hair blond he’s having a crisis. But what about shaving a beard down to moustache?

Make sure to check in with your pals who are trying out unexpected facial hair styles 😳 You never know what might be happening in their lives!

On August 28, 1971, Canada’s first large scale gay rights demonstration took place on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Activists and protestors presented a 13-page brief with a list of 10 demands for federal lawmakers.

SWIPE RIGHT >>> to read them all!

One of the organizers, Charlie Hill, was a 25-year old university student at the time. Years later, he would reflect on the protest with these words:

“We wanted to publicize the demands we wanted for legal change. A lot of people, either gay or non-gay, thought there were no legal issues for g**s. That was nonsense. There were still a lot of laws discriminating against g**s."

A bunch of the *xualhealthalliance staff made it out to Ottawa for 🌈

We’ll be holding court at our brand new booth this weekend on Bank St. at Nepean St. with new stickers, postcards and swag! If you’re here come say hello and chat with us about what’s new and exciting 😎

We want to do more in-person outreach across the province so if you have ideas for places we might be a good fit let us know

This week’s topic for Mild2Wild is a prickly one: slamming, or partying with injection - it’s one of the most intense ways to experience party and play / chems3x and as a result it can be hard to find information out there.

Our facilitator Mykiki will give a free workshop over Zoom on Thursday August 12 from 7pm to 9pm EST so that folks can get the facts and stay safe.

✉️ email: mild2wild@actoronto.ca for the meeting link!

Mild2Wild is a free, anonymous and drop-in discussion group for q***r guys who party and play or use substances to enhance their intimate action. We meet over zoom every other Thursday evening and are brought to you by *xualhealthalliance and .toronto

Today (July 28) is World Hepatitis Day. Hepatitis affects millions of people across the globe every year. Gay, bi, q***r guys and other men who have s*x with men are more likely to encounter hepatitis and it can cause more problems for folks living with HIV.

Thankfully, hepatitis responds well to treatment, and there are vaccines for hepatitis A and B!

July 3, 1981 - NEW YORK TIMES
By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN

Doctors in New York and California have diagnosed among homos*xual men 41 cases of a rare and often rapidly fatal form of cancer. Eight of the victims died less than 24 months after the diagnosis was made.

The cause of the outbreak is unknown, and there is as yet no evidence of conta-gion. But the doctors who have made the diagnoses, mostly in New York City and the San Francisco Bay area, are alerting other physicians who treat large numbers of homos*xual men to the probe cases and eoduce hedelay inity fering chemotherapy treatment.

The sudden appearance of the cancer, called Kaposi’s Sarcoma, has prompted a medical investigation that experts say could have as much scientific as public health importance because of what it may teach causes of more common types of cancer.

First Appears in Spots
Doctors have been taught in the past that the cancer usually appeared first in spots on the legs and that the disease took a siow course of up to 10 years. But these recent cases have shown that it appears in one or more violet-colored spots anywhere on the body.

The spots generally do not itch or cause other symp-toms, often can be mistaken for bruises, sometimes appear as lumps and can tum brown after a period of time. The cancer often causes swollen lymph glands, and then kills by spreading throughout the body.

Doctors investigating the outbreak believe that many cases have gone undetected because of the rarity of the condition and the difficulty even dermatologists may have in diagnosing it.

Here comes the reveal 👀 Who remembers this cheeky meta look from Brook Lynn Hytes’ finale on her season of RuPaul’s Drag Race?

Tomorrow June 19 from 7-9pm EST we have a Mild2Wild Pride Edition with a mystery guest host who has offered tantalizing hints at the discussion topic. What do “Pride”, “Tired of coming out”, “raspberries?!” and “bareback” all have in common ⁉️

Summer is here and love is in the air, darlings, but please hold off on the engagement rings 💍 Infatuation, love bombing and that good D will get the best of us thinking there’s something more to it than there really is! 🤪

Sometimes a fling is just a fling - he doesn’t need to meet your parents right now, bestie. At least wait until he deletes Grindr off his phone 🤣
