Reducing the impact of blood borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections in young people. [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Margaret Hellard (Principal investigator)

Brief description Over the next five years I will undertake a program of research centred on reducing the impact of blood-borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections in vulnerable populations, particularly focusing on HCV and HIV elimination. I will use innovative systems and methods to study how these infections are transmitted and develop interventions that reduce disease transmission and associated risk-behaviours (drug and alcohol use and sexual behaviours) and increased testing and treatment.
