Connecting patients notified with hepatitis C to treatment (Connect Study)
This was the first prospective randomised study of the utility of immediate HCV notification follow-up of primary care practitioners to enhance treatment uptake using disease notification surveillance data. We demonstrated improvement in HCV RNA testing and trend toward better engagement in care, but no significant increase in treatment uptake
Hepatitis C antibody testing among opioid agonist therapy recipients, Victoria, Australia, 2012 to 2020
Quantitative evaluation of an integrated nurse model of care providing hepatitis C treatment to people attending homeless services in Melbourne, Australia
Incarceration history and risk of HIV and hepatitis C virus acquisition among people who inject drugs
Effects of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis for the Prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection on Sexual Risk Behavior in Men Who Have Sex With Men
What Behaviors Do Young Heterosexual Australians See in Pornography? A Cross-Sectional Study
This study investigated how frequently a group of young heterosexual Australians (ages 15 to 29) saw a range of behaviors represented in pornography over the previous 12 months. Participants were recruited to an anonymous online survey. Those who reported having viewed pornography in the past 12 months (n = 517) indicated how frequently they saw each of a list of 17 behaviors when they watched pornography in the past 12 months. Men's pleasure (83…
Re-examining blood donor deferral criteria relating to injecting drug use
The impact of pornography on gender-based violence, sexual health and well-being
As Internet access and literacy increases, pornography has become highly accessible, cheap and diverse. Online pornography use is common in the USA, with nearly 9 out of 10 men and 1 out of 3 women aged 18–26 reporting accessing pornography online.1 In June 2013, legal pornographic websites received more UK-based traffic than social networks, shopping, news and media, email, finance, gaming and travel websites.2 For example, popular pornography w…
Mental Health and Associated Sexual Health Behaviours in a Sample of Young People Attending a Music Festival in Melbourne, Victoria
Global policy and access to new hepatitis C therapies for people who inject drugs
Are needle and syringe programmes associated with a reduction in HIV transmission among people who inject drugs
No Drama
We qualitatively examined gay men's reactions to the national "Drama Downunder" HIV/STI social marketing campaign targeting gay men in Australia to identify key campaign elements that underpinned the demonstrated effectiveness of the campaign. We present findings from six qualitative focus groups held with 49 participants as part of the evaluation of the sexual-health-promotion campaign over 2008-2009. Participants identified attention-grabbing i…
Impact of text and email messaging on the sexual health of young people
OBJECTIVE: To carry out a randomised controlled trial on the effect of a new method of health promotion-email and mobile phone text messages (short messaging service (SMS))-on young people's sexual health. METHODS: 994 people aged 16-29 were recruited at a music festival to a non-blinded randomised controlled trial. Participants were randomised to either receive sexual health promotion messages (n=507) or the control group (n=487). The 12-month i…
Home-based chlamydia testing of young people attending a music festival - who will pee and post
A low proportion of participants returned their chlamydia test, suggesting that this model is not ideal for reaching young people. Home-based chlamydia testing is most attractive to those who report engaging in sexual risk behaviours and are aware of the often asymptomatic nature and potential sequelae of chlamydia infection
Randomised controlled trial of paper, online and SMS diaries for collecting sexual behaviour information from young people
SMS is a convenient and timely method of collecting brief behavioural data, but online data collection was preferable to most participants and more likely to be complete. Data collected in retrospective sexual behaviour questionnaires were found to agree substantially with data collected through weekly self-reported diaries
The “work” of women when considering and using interventions to reduce mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV
This paper explores HIV-infected women's experiences of considering and using recommended interventions during pregnancy and postpartum to reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Data were collected from 45 HIV-infected women aged 18-44 years living in Melbourne, Australia. A semi-structured interview was used to collect qualitative information on women's reproductive experience and intentions. The 15 women who had their children after their …
