Let's keep our minds and bodies fit! Here you can find news and articles about gay and queer health.
The sexual health of trans and non-binary people, their needs and challenges have hardly been researched in Germany until now. Until now - because last year the study "Sexual health and HIV/STI in trans and non-binary communities" was published. Robyn Schmidt spoke to Chris Spurgat on the occasion of the Trans Day of Visibility. Chris Spurgat is the project manager and was involved in the study.
Don't bi+ men have it much easier? They can hide in a "hetero relationship" and secretly live out their "homosexual lust"? Frank Thies disagrees!
Almost one in three people will suffer from a mental illness requiring treatment in the course of their lives. Queer people are particularly affected. This makes it all the more important to know how to maintain and restore mental health and how to support others in doing so.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) protects against HIV. The drug is now difficult to obtain due to supply bottlenecks. IWWIT shows what PrEP users can do now.
The government's response to the Mpox outbreak was heavily criticised last year. Some are therefore asking themselves: is the decline in Mpox infections more a result of the collective effort of our community?
Lutz was infected with MPXV (the "monkeypox" virus) in May 2022. We spoke to him about how he is doing and how he is experiencing the current debate.
The number of infections with the monkeypox virus (MPXV) in Germany has continued to rise. By 10 June, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) had registered 165 cases.
For many people with HIV, the problem is not the virus. It is rejection, marginalisation and discrimination. This is the result of the current scientific study "positive voices 2.0". Watch our video about it now!
The coronavirus crisis has dominated our everyday lives for more than a year. Hygiene measures, contact restrictions and the closure of safe spaces can be particularly stressful for gay men. Stefan Meier, who works as a counsellor at the gay checkpoint Mann-O-Meter in Berlin-Schöneberg, is also feeling the effects. We had a chat with him.
