GLAAAM+ Survey 2025: NSW Report

Formerly known as the Gay Asian Men Survey, the GLAAAM+ Survey is a major behavioural surveillance study in Australia designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of HIV-and STI-related practices, prevention behaviours, and mental health needs among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) from multicultural backgrounds.
Conducted periodically since 2015, the study has generated important evidence to inform policy, service planning and community responses to HIV and sexual health in Australia. Earlier survey rounds focused primarily on GBMSM of Asian background. In 2025, the scope was expanded to include respondents from Asian, African, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and other culturally diverse backgrounds, reflecting the growing diversity of Australia’s LGBTQ+ communities. In doing so, the survey contributes a complementary perspective on multicultural LGBTQ+ communities within the broader behavioural surveillance landscape, alongside studies such as the GBQ+ Community Periodic Surveys.
