This presentation will discuss healthcare engagement, experiences and needs of women who use performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs). It will examine how stigma, lack of clinical knowledge and gaps in current healthcare approaches can leave women managing harm reduction themselves, offering practical recommendations for more informed, non-judgemental and gender-sensitive care.
