Based on recent Australian data\, up to 20% of MSM engage in chemsex regularly. The risks to health are not only of infection by STI/HIV/Hepatitis Virus but also of substance abuse\, impacting on all aspects of life for those affected. Join us as we hear about the Qld Chemsex Study and learn to provide better informed and higher quality care to this population. \nSpeaker Bios\n\n \nDr Amy Mullins\nFAPS Associate Professor School of Psychology & Counselling\, University of Southern Queensland\nAssociate Professor Amy Mullens\, Msc\, PhD\, is an Associate Professor at USQ\, School of Psychology and Counselling and Centre for Health Research.
