Abstract
Chemsex defines the practice of sexual activity under the influence of psychoactive substances, mainly by Men who have Sex with Men (MSM). This activity can be associated with negative health consequences, yet there are no recommendations to guide management of individuals who engage in chemsex. The aim of this scoping review was to identify and describe the existing treatments (pharmacological or not) and risk/harm reduction strategies for MSM who engage in chemsex. This scoping review was performed using PubMed and Embase databases and according to the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review criteria. Overall, 19 studies were included in the review. Among these studies, four main themes were identified: management and harm reduction strategies, key actors involved in managing MSM who engage in chemsex, perceived barriers to care and the role of pre-exposure prophylaxis, and medical information sought by MSM who engage in chemsex. This scoping review concludes with the need to develop multidisciplinary approaches to improve communication about chemsex, and to design interventional studies that target MSM who engage in chemsex.
