Sexualized drug use ( ‘chemsex’) and high‐risk sexual behaviours in HIV‐positive men who have sex with men

ConclusionsThree in ten sexually active HIV‐positive MSM engaged in chemsex in the past year, which was positively associated with self‐reported depression/anxiety, smoking, nonsexual drug use, risky sexual behaviours, STIs, and hepatitis C. Chemsex may therefore play a role in the ongoing HIV and STI epidemics in the UK.
