Information
ChemSex is a practice characterised by the intentional use of certain drugs for the purpose of having sex over a long period of time between gay men, bisexual men, men who have sex with men (MSM) and, more recently, people of other sexual identities.
In recent years, a significant increase in people who have problems derived from the consumption of these substances has been observed. In addition to mental health problems, other problems appear such as the increase in HIV infections and other STIs (viral hepatitis, bacterial STI, etc.), since the consumption of these drugs is associated with a minor or no use of preventive measures. All this implies a challenge for health authorities and for the professionals who care for these users.
That is why a practical training program is proposed, where a maximum of 20 attendees will get involved in a group dynamics using the Role-Playing technique. In this, various situations will be recreated where participants will take on the role of the professional who attend the consumer of ChemSex, putting into practice the theory and assimilating new concepts.
