Development of an electronic general practice tool to improve prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections and blood borne viruses among priority populations [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Ms Caroline van Gemert (Principal investigator)

Brief description Some population groups have higher rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and blood borne viruses (BBVs) than the general population, including men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs and sex workers (“priority populations”). In my Early Career Fellowship, I will develop novel methods to improve the identification of priority populations in general practice. My research will lead to improved management of STIs and BBVs among priority populations.
