Condoms are highly effective at preventing HIV transmission and many other s*xually transmitted infections.

During s*x HIV transmission occurs when the virus in semen, re**al fluid, vaginal fluid, or blood gets into the body of another person. Condoms are great at preventing this.

What an incredible three days ❤️

From September 15-17, our community came together in Winnipeg for the 2026 Manitoba Harm Reduction Conference: Harm Reduction Saves Lives.

Over three days, we learned from one another, shared experiences and knowledge, made new connections, honoured community and culture, and continued important conversations about harm reduction across Manitoba and beyond.

To our speakers, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, ceremony practitioners, attendees, peers, staff, exhibitors, sponsors, partners and everyone who helped make this gathering possible — thank you.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who showed up, shared space with us and helped create the community we experienced throughout these three days.

Drug Alert: Winnipeg - Tue. September 1, 2026

A yellow powder believed to be DOWN and associated with a fatal overdose contained fentanyl and medetomidine.

Medetomidine is a sedative/tranquilizer only approved for use in animals.

Combining high-potency opioids like fentanyl with tranquilizers increases the risk of a complex overdose with suppression of breathing, blood pressure and heart rate.

Naloxone will not reverse the medetomidine, but should still be given to reverse the opioid component.

The sample was brought to Street Connections on August 21, where it tested positive on strips for fentanyl and mede. Health Canada Drug Analysis Service (DAS) confirmed that it contained fentanyl, medetomidine and para-fluorofentanyl.
