Abstract
The Perth Gay Community Periodic Survey is a cross-sectional survey of gay and homosexually active men recruited through a range of sites in Perth. The proJect was funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Family Services. The Periodic Survey provides a snapshot of sexual and HIV-related practices among gay and homosexually active men. These data can be compared with those obtained from other studies such as the Male Call 96 study and the Sydney Gay Community Periodic Survey.
