<b>Background:</b> Early detection and treatment of bacterial sexually transmitted infections has been advocated as an HIV prevention strategy. <b>Aim:</b> To inform screening guidelines, the incidence risk factors for urethral anal gonorrhoea chlamydia were studied in a prospective cohort community-based negative homosexual men Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. <b>Methods:</b> All participants offered annual (study-visit diagnoses) on urine swabs using nucleic acid amplification....
This paper addresses the question of whether HIV-negative gay men engage in "serosorting" casual encounters.

Prevention and intervention programmes are urgently needed alert risks associated "serosorting", remind them need for consistent condom use.
We quantified concomitant medication polypharmacy, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions, adverse effects adherence in Australian adults on effective antiretroviral therapy.Cross-sectional.Patients recruited into a nationwide cohort assessed for prevalence type of (including defined as ≥5 medications), or potential adherence. Factors associated with polypharmacy imperfect were identified using multivariable logistic regression.Of 522 participants, 392 (75%) took (mostly...
Objective: To determine whether reporting that the HIV-positive partner's viral load is undetectable rather than detectable associated with unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) in HIV serodiscordant gay couples. Method: A cross-sectional study nested within two cohort studies, Health Men (HIM) of HIV-negative men, from July 2001 to December 2003 and Positive (PH) February 2002 August 2003. The participants were 119 men an regular relationship at least 6 months duration (45 HIM, 74 PH). main...

Introduction We conducted a detailed analysis of trends in new HIV diagnoses Australia by country birth, to understand any changes epidemiology, relationship migration patterns and implications for public health programs. Methods Poisson regression analyses were performed, comparing the age-standardised diagnosis rates per 100,000 estimated resident population between 2006–2010 2011–2015 region with stratification exposure (male-to-male sex, heterosexual sex–males females). Correlation...
China launched the primary health care (PHC) system oriented National Essential Public Health Service Package (NEPHSP) in 2009, to combat challenges including increasing burden from hypertension and type-2 diabetes (T2DM). In this study, PHC was assessed understand factors influencing uptake of NEPHSP for T2DM management.A mixed-methods study conducted seven counties/districts five provinces across mainland China. Data included a facility level survey interviews with policy makers,...
China's National Essential Public Health Service Package (NEPHSP) aims to promote health for all at the primary care level and includes a focus on hypertension type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there are limited contemporary data quantify cascades of T2DM in care.
Asian-born MSM are a priority population as Australia aims to end HIV transmission, but they reported additional barriers access PrEP and other prevention methods. This study investigates factors associated with use among Asian in Sydney Melbourne, Australia, inform strategies improve uptake this population.
Despite increasing reports of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 (HSV-1)-associated anogenital herpes, there are very limited data comparing the seroepidemiological profile and risk factors for HSV-1 HSV 2 (HSV-2) infection.Sexual behaviors were examined as prevalent incident HSV-2 infections in a community-based cohort 1,427 HIV-negative gay men Australia.The prevalence at baseline was 75% 23%, respectively. The rate infection with HSV-1, well HSV-2, much lower individuals <25 years age,...
