The complexities of seeking and evaluating information highlight the privileged nature of trustworthy, accurate information on the topic. Risk-as a discursive regime-places 2SGBQ+ male AAS users in the position to produce lay knowledge and cultivate their own "truths" on the topic, which can lead to preventable harm. Public health needs to address these biopolitical effects by considering these lay forms of knowledge as an untapped resource and design accessible and judgement-free AAS use harm reduction programs for 2SGBQ+ AAS users.
