Miguel Rocha, MSc, completed his nursing degree in 2008 and specialized in public health nursing in 2014. He is currently a PhD student at the Institute of Public Health, University of Porto. His research focuses on the chemsex scene in Lisbon from 2010 to 2024, examining geographical differences in chemsex cultures across European capital cities. His work explores variations in drug use patterns and healthcare utilization among chemsex users, aiming to contextualize these within broader medical and public health frameworks. From 2012 to 2024, Miguel worked as a sexual health nurse, public health researcher, and health manager at Grupo de Ativistas em Tratamentos. During this time, he co-authored several publications on the dynamics of HIV transmission and prevention options among key populations, utilizing a community-participatory research framework.
