Summary

The term "CHEMSEX", short for "chemicals" and "sex", is used to define the consumption, regardless of the route of administration, of drugs or substances for recreational use, in a sexual context.

No published data is currently available concerning this practice in Reunion Island. However, an upsurge in cases of acute hepatitis C was observed at the end of 2016 (4 in 6 months) of which 3 were related to the practice of chemsex (data CeGGID Réunion) and the recent years have been marked by many cases related to drug trafficking and the arrival of substances still unknown on the island.

Given the rapid emergence of the phenomenon in metropolitan France and in the rest of the world, serious consequences that are both psychological, addictological and infectious, to take stock of this practice among MSM patients followed in Reunion Island seems essential. to establish a rapid, adequate and effective prevention and action plan.
