Our focus areas include HIV, COVID-19, viral hepatitis, sexually transmissible infections, human papillomavirus (HPV), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, and global health. We work collaboratively with a diverse range of partners, including at-risk communities, governments, health care professionals, other research organisations and industry, in Australia and abroad.
