Primed: The Back Pocket Guide for Transmen

Posted by HIM on Tuesday October 11th, 2011

While HIM would love to be the ultimate source for all gay men's health information, we realize that we do not have to reinvent the wheel with each new campaign – try as we might. The diversity within the gay community means that sometimes we can look to our community and our partners for leadership. We hope that they feel confident to trust us in return to strengthen ties and respect these relationships.

Sometimes these community leaders bear remarkable fruit, as is the case with Primed. Primed is a truly one-of-a-kind resource from Queer Trans Men on fucking, STI's, and HIV tailored specifically "For Transmen & the Men Who Dig Them". The challenges of writing the guide are described by the author who acknowledges that working with such a variety of experiences and an equally varied vernacular was difficult, but navigating them was vital. The guide, available online, manages to be innovative and concise. The only problem I have with it is the title, since this guide should come out of the pocket and be read by everyone!

We also have hard copies available at both the clinics!
