For Whom Does Chemsex Increase Sexual Risk? Considering Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), and the Dual Control Model.

Key Points

To investigate the impact of chemsex on sexual risk in relation to PrEP and ART usage.
Assessment of sexual behavior in individuals engaging in chemsex
Comparison between users and non-users of PrEP and ART
Analysis of excitation/inhibition factors related to sexual risk
Chemsex is linked to higher sexual risk among those not using PrEP and ART.
A limited relationship exists between chemsex and sexual excitation/inhibition factors.

Abstract

Conclusion: Results suggest chemsex primarily contributes to sexual risk among those not using PrEP and ART (i.e., those at greatest risk for HIV) and shows limited association with sexual excitation/inhibition factors.
