Chemsex parties have been blamed as a significant contributor to increasing HIV cases, and it is logical to conclude that they also fuel other STDs. What the article does not provide are statistics for demographics of who is being infected.

Just a reminder that we always need to be careful, especially around sex workers.

I got tested last month and paid for my SB's testing, too. All clean, including HSV-1 (which is carried by something like 50% of men) and HSV-2.
