Differences between men who have sex with men that use drugs and engage in chemsex and those who do not engage in chemsex in the French ANRS-PREVENIR cohort: the need to rethink harm reduction services
Differences between the DU and CX populations were observed; the latter were more likely to (i) have at-risk sexual practices, (ii) suffer from depression, and (iii) have optimal PrEP adherence. It is essential to provide suitable mental health services to people who engage in chemsex, and to implement tailored sexual health and harm reduction services to MSM who use drugs but who do not engage in chemsex.
