Do you have a butt? Learn more about how to take your sexual health into your own hands with these helpful resources from our partners around the world: www.mpactglobal.org www.nswp.org www.inpud.net www.gnpplus.net www.gate.ngo www.stjamesinfirmary.org www.harmreduction.org www.prepfacts.org www.prepster.info www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/rtis www.cdc.gov/std As always, we encourage everyone to be anal about their health by getting tested for HIV & STIs regularly and discussing any questions or issues with a local clinician.
Was losing your virginity not so romantic? Did a date have to teach you to douche? Are you best friends with your local clinican? Always on your hookup apps? Maybe you’re still figuring things out. We believe real stories are the key to sex education, and our communities do best when they learn from their peers. That’s why MPact Global Action for Gay Men’s Health and Rights has teamed up with Trish to expand our award nominated Anal About My Health campaign into this series of comics on sexual health and harm reduction. We worked with illustrators and artists around the world to develop their stories into comics that are just as informative and educational as they are fun and sexy! Our goal is to break down stigma around sexual health, and to present taboo topics about sex in open and honest ways. So what are you anal about?
