Chemsex entails potential risks that may lead to medical emergencies. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from an anonymous, self-administered online survey on substance use among 1,203 sexual minority men (SMM) who engage in chemsex in Spain. The study aimed to determine the proportion of chemsex users that have sought emergency care following a session, identify their reasons for consultation, examine associated sociodemographic factors, and assess the proportion who felt they should have sought emergency care but did not.

Article Synopsis
- Chemsex is identified as a significant behavior among sexual minority men (SMM) in Spain, with 21.1% having engaged in such sessions during their lifetime.
- Factors influencing chemsex participation include being a migrant, financial instability, openly living one's sexuality, residing in larger cities, older age, steroid use, and living with HIV.
- The study also categorizes chemsex sessions into three typologies based on risk levels, highlighting that 23.2% of participants engaged in higher-risk sessions, which were correlated with specific sociodemographic traits.
Objective: We aim to estimate the prevalence of daily HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use 6 months after public funding approval in Spain and identify associated factors in a national sample of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM).
Material And Methods: We analysed 4692 HIV-undiagnosed GBMSM men recruited via an online questionnaire distributed nationally via gay contact apps and websites between May and July 2020. We estimated the proportion of participants using daily PrEP and identified associated factors using Poisson regression with robust variance.
Background: As their disease evolves, most patients with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) develop particular healthcare needs that are not always addressed with usual follow-up. To adapt neurological care to these patients, we created a specific consultation for patients with progressive MS in our centre in 2019.
Objectives: To explore the main unmet care needs of patients with progressive MS in our setting, and to establish the usefulness of the specific consultation to address them.
