Abstract

This project will expand behavioural surveillance to engage priority groups of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men and address HIV disparities. It will encourage greater use of HIV testing and effective prevention methods, and build capacity to respond to emerging health threats such as mpox and syphilis. It will do this through a program of collaborative, mixed methods research, conducted between the research team and 12 community organisations and government health departments.
