Summary
The implementation of new biomedical forms of HIV prevention since 2015 has been accompanied by a 40% reduction in HIV diagnoses in gay and bisexual men in New South Wales (NSW). Reductions in HIV have been much smaller in the overseas-born, the young, and in those living outside of inner Sydney. We propose a 5-year program of implementation research, integrated with the NSW HIV Strategy 2021-25, which will see NSW become the first jurisdiction globally to virtually eliminate HIV.

Summary
Sexually transmitted infection rates have increased dramatically in recent years in Australia, with major health consequences - congenital syphilis is killing babies, chlamydia in females is causing pelvic inflammatory disease, increasing the risk of infertility, and drug-resistant gonorrhoea is an urgent global threat. Our specialist sexual health services are at capacity. We will develop an innovative online sexual health hub providing online testing and treatment for STIs and HIV.
