Transgender chemsex study aims to build safer spaces
NCT ID NCT07505875
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study interviews 50 transgender adults in Thailand about their chemsex behaviors—reasons, patterns, and impacts—along with stigma and HIV prevention needs. Researchers also gather input from stakeholders to identify barriers and facilitators for creating transgender-friendly harm reduction services. The goal is to inform future programs that better support this community.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could guide the creation of transgender-specific harm reduction services for chemsex, improving health outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 50 participants in Thailand, so findings may not apply broadly or lead to immediate changes.
