HIV and STD Prevention Needs of Bisexual Women: Results from Projet Polyvalence

This article presents the findings from a community-based action research project seeking to contribute to HIV/AIDS and STD prevention by addressing the often marginalized sexual health needs of people with bisexual practices. Projet Polyvalence conducted 30 interviews with bisexual women in Montréal, employing participatory-action research methods to gather their perspectives on the gaps in existing prevention information. The action component of the project built on the needs identified in the interviews to develop relevant educational materials that will constitute the first participatory prevention campaign on HIV/STDs for people with bisexual practices in Canada.
