Developed by ASHM on behalf of UNAIDS and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Chemsex Toolkit for clinical service providers in the Asia-Pacific region is the first of its kind to provide tailored information on chemsex for clinical service providers in the Asia-Pacific region.
The toolkit provides an overview of chemsex drugs, motivations for chemsex, and chemsex related harms and equips health care providers with a sound understanding of harm reduction interventions through easy to use guides and tools, case studies and training modules, empowering health care workers across the region to feel confident and competent to deliver key population friendly services that reduce harm related to high risk behaviours. This comprehensive resource also acknowledges the social and structural barriers to seeking care for people engaging in chemsex, highlighting the importance of an integrated approach that responds to the specific needs of key populations.
The toolkit was developed in consultation with key stakeholders, including regional and country experts, government representatives, community, healthcare professionals, CSO/NGOs, advocates and researchers from across the Asia-Pacific region.
