This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a tool called the Pleasuremeter—designed to help people think about sexual pleasure and safety together—can be successfully added to existing harm reduction services in Thailand. The study wants to see if this approach is acceptable, helpful, and practical for men who have sex with men and transgender people who use substances. Researchers will talk with both patients and healthcare providers to understand how this tool fits into Thai culture, then follow about 300 participants over 6 months to see if it helps with sexual health, mental health, and substance use.
Harm reduction services help people who use substances stay safer and healthier, but they often don't talk about sexual pleasure or joy alongside safety. This study exists because researchers believe that including conversations about pleasure—not just risk—could be more helpful and could reach more people who need support.

If you join, you'll first be invited to share your thoughts in a one-time confidential conversation with a researcher, or you'll attend routine clinic visits at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months where staff will use the Pleasuremeter tool to talk with you about sexual pleasure, safety, substance use, and your overall health and wellbeing. You'll answer questions about your experiences, complete surveys, and may have blood tests for HIV and other infections—standard care at these clinics—while researchers track how the new tool works.
