Community Perceptions Regarding use of HIV Molecular Epidemiology for Public Health in Victoria, Australia
Molecular epidemiology (ME) is a field that integrates molecular biology techniques with traditional epidemiological methods to study the distribution, determinants, and dynamics of disease. In the context of HIV, ME involves analysing genetic sequences of the virus to understand patterns of transmission, evolution, and the relationships between social, behavioural, and biological factors that influence transmission. This holds great promise in t…
Use of HIV Phylogenetic Analysis in Public Health in Victoria, Australia
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) phylogenetic analysis has been introduced in a select number of jurisdictions globally for the purposes of HIV public health surveillance. Using this epidemiological tool in this way can enhance public health efforts aimed at managing HIV transmission. This application, however, presents many legal and ethical concerns that may counter such efforts, particularly in regulatory environments where HIV transmission …
Older Adults’ Behaviors and Preferences for Seeking Sexual Health Information
Objectives: Sexual expression is important to many older adults, but this population may be overlooked by sexual health campaigns and services. This study sought to understand the sexual health information-seeking behaviors and preferences of older adults, including whether and where they seek this information, the characteristics associated with seeking it, as well as satisfaction, preferences, and reasons for not seeking it. Methods: test, and …
Determinants and prediction of Chlamydia trachomatis re-testing and re-infection within 1 year among heterosexuals with chlamydia attending a sexual health clinic
Background: (chlamydia) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STI) globally, and re-infections are common. Current Australian guidelines recommend re-testing for chlamydia 3 months after treatment to identify possible re-infection. Patient-delivered partner therapy (PDPT) has been proposed to control chlamydia re-infection among heterosexuals. We aimed to identify determinants and the prediction of chlamydia re-testing and re…
Changes to pubic hair removal practices during Covid-19 restrictions and impact on sexual intimacy
Pubic hair grooming (hair removal) has been linked to body image and sexual behaviour and, given the impacts of COVID-19 restrictions on access to sexual partners and beauty salons, we explored these associations. Data derive from a cross-sectional online survey. Participants were aged 18 years or over and in Australia. All genders were included. We explored factors associated with changes to hair removal using logistic regression and analysed fr…
The duration and body position during tongue-kissing among heterosexual men and women
Background Emerging data suggest tongue-kissing may transmit gonorrhea. We aim to examine the duration or body position of heterosexual men and women during tongue-kissing (henceforth, known as kissing). Methods A cross-sectional survey among heterosexual men and women attending the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre in Australia between May 2019 and March 2020 collected data on the duration and body position (i.e., on top of or lying down underneath…
Repeat infections with chlamydia in women may be more transcriptionally active with lower responses from some immune genes
Chlamydia trachomatis , the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide, is responsible for considerable health burden due to its significant sequelae. There are growing concerns about chlamydial treatment and management due to widely documented increasing burden of repeat infections. In the current study, a cohort study design of 305 women with urogenital chlamydial infections demonstrated that 11.8% of women experienced repea…
Evaluating the impact and cost-effectiveness of chlamydia management strategies in Hong Kong
Objectives: To illustrate the epidemiologic and cost-effectiveness impact of shifting the focus from population-based screening toward a targeted management approach for genital chlamydia infection. Design: Modeling study, implementing an individual-based, stochastic, dynamic network model. Setting: Hong Kong. Population: A hypothetical sample network of 10,000 people with a partnership distribution based on Hong Kong's sexually active population…
Measuring school level attributable risk to support school-based HPV vaccination programs
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
Oral, Vaginal and Anal Sexual Practices among Heterosexual Males and Females Attending a Sexual Health Clinic
Sex practices among heterosexuals are not well studied. We aimed to explore sexual practices among heterosexuals attending a sexual health clinic. This cross-sectional survey was conducted at Melbourne Sexual Health Centre between March and April 2019. Data were collected on kissing, oral sex (fellatio or cunnilingus), vaginal sex, anal sex and rimming in the previous 3 months. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were perfo…
Condom use in young women using long-acting reversible contraception (Larc)
Young women in Australia disproportionately experience unintended pregnancy and sexually transmissible infections (STIs). As the promotion of highly effective pregnancy prevention methods such as long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) increases, concurrent use of condoms with LARC remains optimal for pregnancy and STI prevention. There is little data exploring condom use behaviour in young Australian women using LARC. In this qualitative stu…

Health and lifestyle factors associated with sexual difficulties in men – results from a study of Australian men aged 18 to 55 years
Sexual difficulties are common among men of all ages and increasingly more prevalent as men grow older. They are strongly associated with both health and lifestyle factors. With previous literature showing that SDs can be a precursor of an underlying or developing physical and mental health condition, it is imperative that sexual health and sexual functioning is discussed with a doctor as part of a standard health check and across the lifespan
Why do men go to the doctor? Socio-demographic and lifestyle factors associated with healthcare utilisation among a cohort of Australian men
The majority of men (61 %) did not engage in regular health check-up visits, representing a missed opportunity for preventative health care discussions. Lower consultation rates may translate into lost opportunities to detect and intervene with problems early and this is where men may be missing out compared to women

The maternal health outcomes of paid maternity leave
Women's experiences of pelvic inflammatory disease
This study explored the health-care experiences of women diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 women diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease. Many women felt empowered about their health post-diagnosis; however, a smaller number reported becoming hyper-vigilant towards symptoms. Infertility was the greatest concern for women. Inadequate information and treatment resulted in negative healt…
Sex workers talk about sex work
Despite research suggesting that legal sex work is safe and that emotional risks and social stigma are of greater concern than health risks, much research on sex work has focused on health risks. Given the legalisation of sex work in Victoria, Australia, it is timely to look beyond health. Three focus groups were conducted with a total of 14 female sex workers on their experience of legal sex work, both positive and negative, and the social accep…
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…
