Leveraging social networks to expand HIV self-testing among culturally diverse MSM in Australia
Background: HIV self-testing (HIVST) can help overcome barriers to clinic-based testing among men who have sex with men (MSM). Peer-led distribution through existing social networks may further extend reach and acceptability. Objective: Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), this study evaluated a social network-based HIVST intervention in Australia, in which "test promoters" distributed HIVST kits to friends and…
Exploring Barriers and Opportunities for Tertiary Education Providers to Deliver Sexual and Reproductive Health Education to International Students
Introduction To date, there have been little to no studies specifically focused on Australian tertiary education providers’ views on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education for international students. This study investigated staff perspectives on barriers and opportunities for tertiary education institutions to deliver a comprehensive SRH education specific to international students. We complemented staff perspectives with international st…
HIV self-testing knowledge, attitudes, and practices among Asian-born gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in Australia
Background: Achieving virtual elimination of HIV transmission in Australia requires a combination of high treatment rates and high testing coverage among individuals at risk of acquiring HIV. HIV self-testing (HIVST) is an additional testing approach for key populations. Objective: We aimed to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of HIVST among Asian-born gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Methods: This qualitat…
Preferences for attributes of an artificial intelligence-based risk assessment tool for HIV and sexually transmitted infections
Participants were more likely to use MySTIRisk if it was free, highly accurate, and could send pathology request forms. Tailoring the tool to distinct user segments could enhance its uptake and effectiveness in promoting early detection and prevention of HIV and STIs
Preferences for HIV prevention strategies among newly arrived Asian-born men who have sex with men living in Australia
The HIV epidemic in Australia is changing with higher risk for HIV among newly-arrived Asian-born men who have sex with men (MSM) compared to Australian-born MSM. We evaluated the preferences for HIV prevention strategies among 286 Asian-born MSM living in Australia for <5 years. A latent class analysis uncovered three classes of respondents who were defined by their preferences: “PrEP” (52%), “Consistent condoms” (31%), and “No strategy” (17%). …
ESexualHealth
Objectives: Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) and trans and gender diverse (TGD) people are disproportionately affected by poorer sexual health outcomes compared to heterosexual populations. We aimed to explore the preferences of GBMSM and TGD for using eHealth for sexual health (eSexualHealth). Methods: We distributed an anonymous online survey from April to August 2021among the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, inters…
Australian Sexual Health Service Users’ Perspectives on Reducing the Oral Transmission of Bacterial STIs
Growing rates of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) demand new approaches to STI prevention. Sexual practices involving saliva or direct contact with the mouth increase the risk of STI transmission, but community awareness remains largely unexplored in the literature. The Community Awareness and Surveillance of STI Transmission study sought to explore sexual health clinic attendees' awareness of oral STIs; experiences when seeking t…
“How PrEPared are you?”
Introduction: Overseas-born and newly arrived gay and bisexual men and men who have sex with men (GBMSM) are at higher risk of acquiring HIV in comparison to Australian-born GBMSM. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is subsidized by the Australian government under Medicare, Australia's universal health insurance scheme, however many members of this population are Medicare-ineligible, which could prevent them from accessing PrEP. We wanted to explore…
Sexual Activities and Changes in Condom Use in Group Sex Events Among Female Sex Workers in Melbourne, Australia
Background: There are few studies investigating group sex among female sex workers (FSWs). This study aimed to examine the typical number of group sex participants, sexual activities and condom use in group sex among FSWs attending a sexual health clinic in Melbourne, Australia. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey between May 1, 2019 and March 13, 2020 among FSWs in Melbourne. Participants were asked whether they had participated in gr…
Patterns of Sexual Practices, Sexually Transmitted Infections and Other Genital Infections in Women Who Have Sex with Women Only (WSWO), Women Who Have Sex with Men Only (WSMO) and Women Who Have Sex …
Despite rises in sexually transmitted infection (STI) notifications among Australian women in the last decade, limited STI surveillance data exist specifically for women who have sex with women. This study aimed to compare differences in sexual practices and positivity for STIs and other genital infections among women who have sex with men only (WSMO), women who have sex with women only (WSWO), and women who have sex with men and women (WSMW), an…
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…
Comparing HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, Testing, and New Diagnoses in Two Australian Cities with Different Lockdown Measures during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Australia introduced a national lockdown on 22 March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Melbourne, but not Sydney, had a second COVID-19 lockdown between July and October 2020. We compared the number of HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) prescriptions, HIV tests, and new HIV diagnoses during these lockdown periods. The three outcomes in 2020 were compared to 2019 using incidence rate ratio. There was a 37% and 46% reduction in PEP prescr…
