Abstract
- The use of drugs in sexual settings among gay men (colloquially referred to as 'chemsex') was first observed in services supporting gay men in London in the late 2000s. A decade on and it now features as a policy issue in the UK Government's latest Drug Strategy, with several actions to support a health system response. However, reaching this point has been a slow and challenging process and much remains to be done to facilitate an environment in which evidence-based chemsex interventions can be delivered. With a view to informing the development of policies and services in other contexts, this case report examines the initiatives that have driven a response to chemsex and contributed to policy development in England and highlights remaining challenges to effective service provision.
