New HIV, STI committee appointed

The appointment of a new ministerial advisory committee on blood-borne viruses and STIs has been welcomed by the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations as an important step in revitalising Australia’s response to HIV.

The federal Minister for Health Nicola Roxon last week announced the new committee, which will bring together 17 of Australia’s leading researchers in the field of blood-borne viruses.

Minister Roxon has charged the committee with developing and overseeing the new National Strategies for HIV, STI and hep C, AFAO president Graham Brown said.

She wants the partnership approach restored and the increasing HIV infection rates reversed, and she’s appointed the right people to advise her on how this can be achieved.
