About a quarter of new HIV infections are linked to chemsex, yet people doing it are least likely to use PrEP or protection. Many are educated, white, and affluent, showing how privilege shapes risk-taking.

quarter of new HIV infections were from, uh, chemsex. Those people who were in the chemsex culture having risky sexual experiences were least likely to use PrEP. Mm-hmm. Uh, and, or, you know, use any kind of real protection. And I find that so fascinating that you have these people who are, again, well-educated, white affluent who would just throw caution to the wind. I can understand if someone is, uh, participating in this and they forget to take their meds. Mm-hmm. But these people, at, at least how the question was asked, they're not even on PrEP. Right, right. There's a, there's a whole privilege aspect to this too. Mm-hmm. Um, and how privilege plays into this and how like whiteness plays into this.
