Chemsex linked with increased diagnoses of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections




Chemsex—the use of crystallised methamphetamine, mephedrone, γ-hydroxybutyrate or γ-butyrolactone and to a lesser extent cocaine and ketamine to facilitate sex—has emerged as a new phenomenon in the UK and across Europe amongst gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). A new HIV Medicine study reveals that chemsex disclosure in sexual health settings is associated with higher rates of new diagnoses of HIV, Hepatitis C, and other sexually transmitted infections.

Rainer’s Time Longevity Equation T=√D2x M x 1/E Rainer’s Time Longevity Equation states that an organism’s life span i...
