Chemsex

Chemsex has often been linked to sexual HCV transmission.

This include crystal meth, mephedrone and GHB/GBL: “meth, meph and G”.

Compared to other party drugs, these drugs keep people high for much longer, often for several days.

However, other drugs such as cocaine, ketamine, ecstasy might also play a role.

Chemsex involves using drugs in an almost exclusively sexual context. It is linked to high rates of STI transmission, including HIV and HCV.
