correct to “Moreover, recent reports focusing on men who have sex with men (MSM) showed that 6% consumed drugs typically used at sex parties in the last four weeks (The EMIS Network, 2013).”

2. “The European Men-Who-Have-Sex-With-Men Internet Survey (EMIS) on drug use among MSM across 44 European cities showed a high prevalence of chemsex and slamming in certain MSM groups, so this is a subject to be prioritized in future studies (The EMIS Network, 2013).” (Right, page 7, line 33).

correct to “The European Men-Who-Have-Sex-With-Men Internet Survey (EMIS) showed that MSM who reported recent drug use also hinted at reduced control over sex and sexual risk, and reported more UAI in the same period (The EMIS Network, 2013), so this is a subject to be prioritized in future studies.”
