Funded Activity Summary

Biomedical methods to prevent HIV include vaccines, gels used vaginally or rectally, oral medicines taken before or after potential exposure to HIV, and male and female condoms. We aim to investigate the impact of several such prevention methods, both on HIV transmission in Australia and on the behaviour of people using these technologies. Potential users' knowledge and attitudes towards such products will be explored. Results will contribute to the design of future HIV prevention studies.
