  • Caring infrastructures for sexual health and the implications of antibiotic-resistant STIs

    Open AccessChandra, Shiva Chandra et al.ARTICLEHealth Sociology Review2026

    Infrastructures fundamentally shape sexual health, but their gaps and failings often only come into view during moments of crisis. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a looming microbiological and global societal crisis, and one that is posing increasing challenges and risks for medical practice and public health alike. In sexual health, concerns have been raised about growing resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and the less well-known Mycoplasma g…

  • Friendship and the Sociality of GBTQ+ Sexual Health in Times of Resistance

    Open AccessChandra, Alex Broom et al.ARTICLESociology2026Referencias: 35

    Sexual health has always been a social matter. While the science of disease transmission remains a focus for public health stakeholders, for social scientists, the sociality of infections, both enduring and emerging, remains central. That is, friendships and relationships are core to health, risk and illness. Yet, there has been virtually no work on how friendships and their varying contours are interplaying with (increasingly) antibiotic resista…

  • Stakeholder Perceptions of the School Vaccination Program in Special Schools for Adolescents With Intellectual and Developmental Disability

    Open AccessDana Zaina, Zahra Aemehdoust et al.ARTICLEJournal of School Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Adolescents with intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) are reported to have lower uptake of routine vaccines than their peers. Little research has explored stakeholders' perceptions and support of school-based vaccinations for this population in NSW, Australia. METHODS: Focus groups and interviews were conducted with four stakeholder groups involved in the vaccination program in special education schools in New South Wales, …

  • Mediated Urgency

    Open AccessChandra, Alex Broom et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2025Referencias: 7

    Often, research takes place once a health issue is already at ‘crisis’ point. However, health professionals and populations can have different understandings of ‘urgency’. At present, health authorities, scientists and other medical professionals are increasingly concerned about escalating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the context of STIs. Clinicians worry about Neisseria gonorrhoeae becoming progressively resistant to last‐line treatment, as…

  • GBTQ+ safe sex entanglements

    Open AccessChandra, Alex Broom et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 42

    Few studies have explored community experiences of our increasingly resistant bacterial landscape, and, in the sphere of sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and antimicrobial resistance, there is even greater absence of community-centred research. This is despite a growth in STI transmission worldwide, which, alongside accelerated resistance, will disproportionately affect GBTQ+ (gay, bisexual, trans, queer+) populations. In this article, dr…

  • The impact of a multi-faceted intervention on non-prescription dispensing of antibiotics by urban community pharmacies in Indonesia

    Open AccessAstri Ferdiana, Yusuf Ari Mashuri et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Introduction Non-prescription antibiotic dispensing is prevalent among community pharmacies in several low- and middle-income countries. We evaluated the impact of a multi-faceted intervention to address this challenge in urban community pharmacies in Indonesia. Methods A pre-post quasi-experimental study was carried out in Semarang city from January to August 2022 to evaluate a 7-month long intervention comprising: (1) online educational session…

  • Challenges to integrating programs for the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B into antenatal care

    Open AccessLuh Putu Lila Wulandari, Dinar Saurmauli Lubis et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The WHO’s Asia-Pacific framework for triple elimination recommends that countries evaluate their programs for the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B (EMTCT), including identifying gaps to improve program planning and the implementation of elimination strategies in antenatal care (ANC) services. In 2022, the Indonesian Ministry of Health reported that only 39% of pregnant women were tested for HIV, 14% fo…

  • A HIV diagnosis and treatment cascade for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia

    Jacqueline H Stephens, Richard T Gray et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (hereafter Aboriginal) people are a priority population for HIV care in Australia; however, no HIV cascade exists for this population. We developed annual HIV cascades for 2010-2017 specific to Aboriginal peoples. By 2017, an estimated 595 Aboriginal people were living with HIV (PLWH); however, 14% remained undiagnosed. Cascade steps below global targets were: PLWH aware of their diagnosis (86%), and retentio…

  • HIV-Related Knowledge and Practices among Asian and African Migrants Living in Australia

    Open AccessDaniel Vujcich, Alison Reid et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Australian HIV notification rates are higher for people born in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa compared to Australian-born people. The Migrant Blood-Borne Virus and Sexual Health Survey represents the first attempt to build the national evidence base regarding HIV knowledge, risk behaviors and testing among migrants in Australia. To inform survey development, preliminary qualitative research was conducted with a convenience…

  • National Surveillance of Home-Based HIV Testing Among Australian Gay and Bisexual Men, 2018–2020

    Open AccessYe Zhang, Martin Holt et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023

    HIV self-testing allows people to collect samples and test themselves at home, addressing known barriers to facility-based testing. We aimed to measure the uptake of home HIV testing among Australian gay and bisexual men (GBM). Using national cross-sectional data from the Australian Gay Community Periodic Surveys, we assessed trends in home HIV testing among non-HIV positive GBM between 2018 and 2020. Overall, the use of home HIV testing was low,…

  • Supply-side readiness to deliver HIV testing and treatment services in Indonesia

    Open AccessRabiah al Adawiyah, David Boettiger et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Introduction Despite national efforts to integrate Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV services into antenatal care in Indonesia, the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV remains the highest in the world. A range of barriers to uptake and long-term engagement in care have been identified, but far less is known about health system preparedness to deliver PMTCT of HIV services. This study explored supply-side barriers t…

  • Measuring school level attributable risk to support school-based HPV vaccination programs

    Open AccessCassandra Vujovich‐Dunn, C Vujovich-Dunn et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    This analysis suggests that initiatives to support schools that are smaller, with a higher proportion of Indigenous adolescents and lower attendance rates may contribute most to reducing the variation of HPV vaccination uptake observed at a school-level in these jurisdictions. Estimating population-level coverage at the school-level is useful to guide policy and prioritise resourcing to support school-based vaccination programs

  • Belonging, social connection and non‐clinical care

    Open AccessNathanael Wells, Steven P Philpot et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2022Citada por: 5Referencias: 5

    Effective HIV treatments have transformed the medical needs of people living with HIV (PLHIV) to a chronic condition. However, stigma, poorer mental health outcomes and social isolation remain significant challenges for many PLHIV. HIV peer support programs have assisted PLHIV in navigating the clinical, emotional and social aspects of living with HIV. We draw on semi-structured interviews with 26 recently diagnosed PLHIV in Australia to explore …

    Open AccessLuh Putu Lila Wulandari, Mishal Khan et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: The aim of this mixed-method study was to determine the extent and determinants of inappropriate dispensing of antibiotics by licensed private drug retail outlets in Indonesia. METHODS: Standardised patients (SPs) made a total of 495 visits to 166 drug outlets (community pharmacies and drug stores) between July and August 2019. The SPs presented three clinical cases to drug outlet staff: parent of a child at home with diarrhoea; an …

  • Sustaining success

    Open AccessYe Zhang, Rebecca Guy et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    HIVST increases the frequency of HIV testing among gay and bisexual men due, in part, to the practical, psychological, and social benefits it offers. To capitalize fully on these benefits, however, strategies to ensure the availability of highly reliable HIVST are required to sustain benefits beyond the confines of a structured research study

  • The costs of scaling up HIV and syphilis testing in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessRabiah al Adawiyah, Olga P M Saweri et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Around two-thirds of all new HIV infections and 90% of syphilis cases occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Testing is a key strategy for the prevention and treatment of HIV and syphilis. Decision-makers in LMICs face considerable uncertainties about the costs of scaling up HIV and syphilis testing. This paper synthesizes economic evidence on the costs of scaling up HIV and syphilis testing interventions in LMICs and evidence on how …

  • The Association between the Australian Alcopops Tax and National Chlamydia Rates among Young People—an Interrupted Time Series Analysis

    Open AccessWilliam Gilmore, Tanya Chikritzhs et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    A national tax increase, which became known as the "alcopops tax", was introduced in Australia on the 27th April 2008 on ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages, which are consumed predominantly by young people. The affordability of alcohol has been identified as the strongest environmental driver of alcohol consumption, and alcohol consumption is a well-known risk factor in the spread of sexually transmitted infections via its association with sexual…

  • Young Aboriginal people’s engagement with STI testing in the Northern Territory, Australia

    Open AccessStephen Bell, Peter Aggleton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    This is the first socio-ecological analysis of factors influencing young Aboriginal people's willingness to undertake testing for STIs within clinics in Australia. Strategies to improve uptake of STI testing must tackle the overlapping social and health service factors that discourage young people from seeking sexual health support. Much can be learned from young people's lived sexual health experiences and family- and community-based health prom…

  • Uptake and acceptability of assisted and unassisted HIV self-testing among men who purchase sex in brothels in Indonesia

    Open AccessLuh Putu Lila Wulandari, John Kaldor et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    This study is the first to investigate the acceptance of HIV self-testing when offered to MWPS in brothels by lay health providers. The high uptake of HIV self-testing suggests that this testing model is acceptable and could increase the very low HIV testing coverage among MWPS. The strong preference for fully assisted HIV self-testing highlights the importance of involving lay health providers in future testing programs. When scaling up HIV self…

  • Unwanted Sex Due to Intoxication among Australians Aged 16–69 Years

    Allison Carter, Christy E Newman et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2020Citada por: 3Referencias: 9

    Intoxication can be a factor in unwanted sex, but research on the extent of the issue in both women and men is limited. We assessed the prevalence, correlates, and 10-year time-trends of unwanted sex due to intoxication among a representative sample of 4,279 women and 3,875 men aged 16-69 years in Australia and considered how these vary by gender. In 2012-13, 16% of women and 10% of men reported ever having had a sexual experience when they "did …
