@followers Let's talk about chemsex - Chem sex is basically a practice that people are engaging in where they take drugs, which a common one that is being called on the streets is ‘pop us’, which is a tablet or pill and they even inject the drug.They do it as a group and when they get high, they have sex. So, it is like an organised sex party or orgy, and they last for days. It is happening in Fiji.It was happening before, but no one was really talking about it, but it is all coming out because drugs are involved. Especially with injecting drugs, they can last for days without taking food, water, or sleep. They have continuous sex, and they have these different sexual partners. This was one of the reasons for the high number of new HIV cases that clinics were receiving across the country.This concern was disclosed by the senior medical officer in charge of the Central/ Eastern Division’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinic Dr Dashika Balak.HIV numbers jumped from 245 in 2022 to 415 in 2023.#ChemsexAwareness 💊🔞 #StaySafeVideo: The Fiji Times | Dr Atonio Lalabalavu
