The Speed Project

The Speed Project is a harm reduction program for gay/bi and heteroflexible men in San Francisco who use speed. The project hosts a weekly drop in group, secondary syringe exchange, produces a community zine called SPEEDOMETER, hosts community forums, workshops, movie nights, and does outreach in the TL & Castro, at syringe exchanges, street fairs, bars and clubs.

Peer Educators are the heart of the project. Guys volunteer to provide friends with nonjudgmental information and resources to encourage good health and support guys to party and play more safely.

Peer educators and the project's zine SPEEDOMETER open doors for guys to share their stories and strategies with other men who use about what works for them in terms of reducing the spread of HIV, hepatitis, STDs, and other harms associated with the use of crystal.
