摘要: Abstract Consumption of steroids and other performance image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs) is thought to be on the rise in Australia. Along with benefits experienced by consumers come a range health risks. This article draws interviews conducted for an Australian research project men who inject PIEDs consider ways which information about managing these risks can provided, sources use value, professional relationships most effective securing best outcomes them. As we will show, our expressed very strong desire reliable, credible how manage them, but also described often having rely gleaned from questionable reliability such as online forums friends acquaintances. Among information, advice monitoring they access were general medical practitioners (GPs), high-quality interactions GPs were, argued, rarely possible. Using recent work Isabelle Stengers, particularly notions connoisseurship symbiosis, argue that new modes engagement need developed might allow consume support need, including through their GPs. Following characterise ‘connoisseurs’ PIEDs, what at stake made possible PIED connoisseurs enter into more collaborative PIED-related issues. In conducting analysis, greater recognition complexities face when encountering people engaged illegal forms consumption call symbiotic models beyond both zero tolerance-style refusals help narrowly focused harm reduction approaches.
