“Australia must do better on HIV”

The National Association of People Living with HIV (NAPWA) called on the Australian government and health bodies to reorient National HIV Strategies to better align with those set by the United Nations at the High Level Meeting held in New York in June this year.

Australia [has] to up its game and reduce transmissions of HIV amongst men who have sex with men, by 80 per cent by 2015.
