Chemsex means abusing substances (mainly recreational drugs) to enhance sexual excitement during sex. It has been very popular among the local Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) community in recent years. According to PRiSM study in 2017, nearly 17% of the respondents said they have used recreational drugs/substances before having condomless high-risk sex, which is alarming for our community’s health.
