Dangerous 'Chemsex' Trend Leaving People Riddled With STIs

A WORRYING new craze that involves drug-fuelled sex sessions lasting up to 72 hours with multiple partners could be the cause of soaring STI rates.

'Chemsex', usually carried out by gay men, involves taking a combination of drugs - such as mephedrone, GHB, GBL and crystal meth - then having sex for hours, or even days.

Experts have said the trend should be a public health priority due to increased HIV risk.
