New data has revealed a shocking lack of both awareness and understanding of chemsex issues, even within the queer community.
The research, commissioned by the non-profit Controlling Chemsex in partnership with Opinium, showed that 75% of queer people in the UK don’t consider chemsex to be a series issue – despite the reality that stories of chemsex-related deaths are becoming more and more common in queer communities.
