RESEARCH
Since 1992  there has been several specific research surverys related to gay and bisexual men in Ireland.  These surveys deal with the sexual behaviour and knowledge of men who have sex with men. The resulting information gives us and other sexual health promoters a wealth of information to help plan our work. All these surveys and reports received complete or support funding from the Gay Men's Health Service.
