  • Varied Knowledge of HIV Transmission and Prevention Among Gay, Bisexual, and Heterosexual Men Who Have Sex with Men in Australia

    Open AccessMartin Holt, Daniel Storer et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    We assessed knowledge about HIV transmission and prevention among men who have sex with men (MSM) to identify education needs. A national online survey was conducted across Australia in July-August 2024, including nine HIV knowledge items. We assessed how HIV knowledge varied by sexual identity (using ANOVA), and characteristics independently associated with HIV knowledge using multivariable linear regression. Of 2,688 respondents, 1,241 were gay…

  • Barriers and Facilitators to Oral HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Use in Australia

    Open AccessTyson Arapali, Sarah Warzywoda et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective, yet various barriers limit its potential as a HIV prevention strategy. This scoping review aimed to identify and quantify determinants of oral PrEP initiation and continuation among community members, and provision by healthcare providers in Australia and comparable countries (UK, Canada, and New Zealand). Three databases were searched in January 2025 for original studies published bet…

  • Evidencing work

    Open AccessMartin Holt, K Lancaster et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), the use of antiretroviral drugs to prevent HIV infection, was initially implemented in Australia as a daily regimen, transforming HIV prevention. However, the process of implementation, and key shifts in the delivery of PrEP, such as the introduction of on-demand (non-daily) dosing, are not well understood. This study aimed to understand how key stakeholders put PrEP into practice, and the 'evidencing work' th…

  • Outbreak distress’

    Open AccessRosalie Hayes, A TAIT SMITH et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2026

    In May 2022, a global outbreak of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) was declared an international public health emergency. During this time, healthcare workers scrambled to respond to the outbreak amidst a lack of resources, knowledge gaps and pressures related to COVID-19. This period posed a risk of heightened moral distress, defined as distress arising from a situation in which a healthcare worker knows the right thing to do but is externally…

  • A Decade of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Cascade Monitoring

    Open AccessJames Macgibbon, Daniel Storer et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    We have monitored Australia's maturing HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) program for the past decade, providing a unique view of long-term implementation among gay, bisexual and queer men and non-binary people. Using two national surveys, the GBQ + Community Periodic Surveys (GCPS, 2014-2023, N = 78,378) and the PrEPARE Project (2017-2023, N = 5,278), we constructed and iteratively refined cascades to monitor PrEP suitability, awareness, use, a…

  • Migration Status and HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Uptake Among Gay and Bisexual Men and Non-binary People in Australia

    Open AccessSimin Yu, James Macgibbon et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Increasing HIV prevention coverage among migrant gay and bisexual men (GBM) and non-binary people in Australia has become a priority, as recently arrived migrants are at higher risk of HIV acquisition than longer-term Australian residents. We compared GBM and non-binary participants who were willing to use but had never used pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) before with current PrEP users, and explored how migration status was associated with PrEP …

  • The limits of promoting pleasure

    Open AccessA K Smith, A TAIT SMITH et al.ARTICLESexualities2026Referências: 35

    HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is said to have transformed pleasure and sexual practices in myriad ways. This article draws on interviews with PrEP users in Australia who had paused, stopped, or switched PrEP use in order to explore the varied affects and experiences of PrEP in relation to different dosing strategies. Drawing on the concept of ‘desiring-assemblages’, we considered ‘what can a body with PrEP do?’. Our analysis affirms PrEP as…

  • International healthcare workers’ experiences and perceptions of the 2022 multi-country mpox outbreak

    Open AccessVanessa Apea, Boghuma K Titanji et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    In May 2022, the most widespread outbreak of sustained transmission of mpox outside of countries historically affected countries in Western and Central Africa occurred. We aimed to examine the personal and clinical experiences of international healthcare workers (HCWs) during this public health emergency. We conducted an international cross-sectional survey study between August and October 2022, examining the experiences and perceptions of HCWs c…

  • Suboptimal Patient-Provider Communication About Undetectable = Untransmittable and HIV Transmission Risk in Australia and the US

    Open AccessSarah K Calabrese, Martin Holt et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    The Undetectable = Untransmittable (U = U) campaign aims to raise global awareness that people living with HIV whose viral load is undetectable cannot sexually transmit HIV. Healthcare providers are uniquely positioned to disseminate the U = U message. Our study explored patient-provider communication about U = U and HIV risk from the perspectives of gay, bisexual, and other men living with HIV (MLHIV) and healthcare providers engaged in HIV trea…

  • Estimating Prevention-Effective Adherence to HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Among Australian Gay, Bisexual and Queer Men and Non-binary People

    Open AccessJames Macgibbon, A K Smith et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    Oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective when taken appropriately at times of HIV risk, termed "prevention-effective adherence". To understand suboptimal adherence, we refined a brief measure for surveys among gay, bisexual and queer men and non-binary (GBQ+) people. We used a mixed-methods design, comprising a national, online cross-sectional survey (June-July 2023) and cognitive interviews (August-October 2023). Logistic reg…

  • Improving Gender and Sexuality Inclusivity of a Long-Running HIV Behavioural Surveillance Survey to Identify New Sexual Practices, HIV Risks, and Maintain Community Support

    Open AccessA K Smith, A TAIT SMITH et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    Inclusive language in data collection is essential for effective and sustained engagement with marginalised populations. The historic use of imprecise conceptualisations of gender and sexuality in the field of HIV and sexual health research has been challenged in the last decade, particularly cisnormative and monosexist assumptions about identity and practice. This study reports on the process of redesigning a repeated cross-sectional survey ques…

  • Patterns of Social Support and LGBTQ + Community Involvement Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Australia and Their Effect on HIV-Related Outcomes

    Open AccessCurtis Chan, Benjamin R Bavinton et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    Peer support from social networks of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) has been recognised as a critical driver of engagement with HIV prevention. Using data from an online cross-sectional survey of 1,032 GBMSM aged 18 or over in Australia, a latent class analysis was conducted to categorise participants based on social support, LGBTQ + community involvement, and social engagement with gay men and LGBTQ + people. Comparis…

  • Informed, but uncertain

    Open AccessDaniel Storer, Martin Holt et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2025Referências: 32

    In 2022, a global outbreak of mpox (formerly 'monkeypox') emerged in non-endemic countries, including Australia, predominantly affecting gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. Public health advice on transmission and isolation emerged rapidly from different sources, sometimes conflicting and producing uncertainty. Using the concept of 'counterpublic health', which acknowledges the incorporation of official science and experiences of a…

  • Mpox Illness Narratives

    Open AccessA K Smith, Daniel Storer et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2024

    In May 2022, a global outbreak of mpox (formerly monkeypox virus) affected thousands of mainly gay and bisexual men. Mpox is usually a time-limited illness that can involve fever, pain, and skin lesions, but may require hospitalisation. There is scant research into the firsthand experiences of people affected by mpox, including experiences of symptoms, healthcare, and recovery. This study considers the different illness narratives of people who e…

  • Explicit Relationship Agreements and HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Use by Gay and Bisexual Men in Relationships

    Open AccessJames Macgibbon, Benjamin R Bavinton et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2023

    Relationship agreements are important for HIV prevention among gay and bisexual men (GBM) in relationships, with research earlier in the HIV epidemic often finding that agreements specified monogamy or condom use with casual partners. There is evidence that HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has shifted sexual practices among some men in relationships, such as allowing condomless sex with casual partners, but there has been little attention paid…

  • Understanding how PrEP is made successful

    Open AccessA K Smith, K Lancaster et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2023

    After a decade of oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), the next generation of PrEP is being anticipated, including long-acting pills, injections, and implants. The unevenness of international PrEP implementation is increasingly recognised, with successful rollout in some settings and failure in others. There is a need to better understand conditions of PrEP implementation, and its localised (and sometimes unanticipated) effects. Implementati…

  • Variations in HIV Prevention Coverage in Subpopulations of Australian Gay and Bisexual Men, 2017–2021

    Open AccessMartin Holt, Curtis Chan et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023

    Using repeated behavioural surveillance data collected from gay and bisexual men (GBM) across Australia, we assessed trends in HIV prevention coverage (the level of 'safe sex' achieved in the population by the use of effective prevention methods, including condoms, pre-exposure prophylaxis [PrEP] and having an undetectable viral load). We stratified these trends by age, country of birth/recency of arrival, sexual identity, and the proportion of g…

  • Attitudes Towards Treatment as Prevention Among PrEP-Experienced Gay and Bisexual Men in Australia

    Open AccessAlexander Dowell‐Day, Alexander Dowell-Day et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023

    The introduction of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has the potential to impact the attitudes gay and bisexual men (GBM) who consequently choose to take PrEP have towards treatment as prevention (TasP), and the extent to which they are willing to have condomless anal intercourse (CLAI) with an HIV-positive sexual partner who has an undetectable viral load (UVL). Using a cross-sectional sample from an observational cohort study conducted from …
