Sex Now Update

Results from the Sex Now 2007 online survey are available below.

Thank you to all the guys across British Columbia who responded to the survey.

Sex Now is conducted annually by the Community Based Research Centre (CBRC) in Vancouver. We survey gay men from across BC so that we can keep you up-to-date on sexual health information, current trends in our community and the issues we face in building a supportive environment for gay men.

The Community Based Research Centre is a non-profitable charitable organization using research and education to raise awareness about gay men’s health.

Since 2002 thousands of gay men in BC have responded to Sex Now. Please find reports from past surveys below.

Watch for Sex Now 2008 to be launched at Vancouver Pride in August.
