Cover Story: This paper reviews interventions aimed at reducing risks associated with chemsex, defined as the use of chemical substances to prolong sexual encounters among men who have sex with men (MSM). This phenomenon poses serious public health risks, such as an increase in STIs and mental health problems. The systematic review covered databases such as PubMed and Scopus, selecting six relevant studies. The studies evaluated harm reduction interventions, highlighting those based on online messages and peer-led programs. The results indicate that harm reduction strategies are effective if they are accessible, personalized, and non-punitive. In conclusion, promoting these interventions is crucial to mitigate the risks of chemsex through a comprehensive approach that includes harm reduction policies, educational programs, and psychological support.View this paper
