Latest HIV trends & Gay Community Periodic Survey
The landscape of HIV epidemiology is one of the fastest-changing landscapes closely affecting our communities. Professor Andrew Grulich, head of the HIV Epidemiology and Prevention Program at Kirby Institute, gives us a snapshot on the rates of HIV infections in Australia. The discussion explores HIV acquisitions in more detail and how we can work together better to end HIV.
Our second guest Professor Martin Holt from the Centre for Social Research for Health in UNSW who manages the Gay Community Periodic Survey to discuss the results with us. He gives us some very interesting insight into the largest cross-sectional survey of gay men in Victoria.
