Abstract
This report is based on a survey first carried out in 1996 and repeated every two years since then. A two-page self-complete questionnaire was distributed between February and May 2004 to women attending the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Fair Day and at several other gay/lesbian community venues and health services. Information was sought on sexual identitiy and other personal characteristics, sexual practices, sexual health, and drug use. The responses of 440 women who identified as lesbian, bisexual, queer or 'other' were analysed.
