Chemsex First AID: a community booklet

A booklet from advocates Ignacio Labayen de Inza and David Stuart about how to react when things go wrong in a chemsex session.

The guide has four sections: 

  1. GHB/GBL-related emergencies.
  2. Methamphetamine- and mephedrone-related emergencies.
  3. Other emergencies that occur in chemsex environments.
  4. A summary of first aid situations.

The guide also considers withdrawal, particularly from GHB/GBL, and the risks of intravenous drug use, such as intravenous infection, HIV infection or introducing a large amount of air into a vein.
