Manitoba 2SGBQ+ Men’s Health Study

The Manitoba Two-Spirit, Gay, Bisexual, and Queer Men’s Health study was designed to inform culturally sensitive models of HIV service, healthcare, and support program delivery for sexual and gender minority men in Manitoba.

This study sought to:

Examine how various forms of marginalization, discrimination, and oppression affect the physical, mental, and sexual health of Manitoba’s Two-Spirit, gay, bisexual, and queer men.
Explore this population’s access to, and experiences with HIV-related services and other health care and social programs in Manitoba.
