Trials to prevent the transmission and complications of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV [ 2008 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Rebecca Guy (Principal investigator)

Brief description Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are important causes of illness in some sectors of the community. Even though they can be effectively prevented and treated, many health services do not give them priority. This research project will study ways in which general practitioners can better diagnose and treat STIs. We will carry out trials that compare new approaches to supporting doctors in this area, that involve a mixture of training, reminders and technical support as needed.
