(1999)ReportThis report combines qualitative and quantitative data gathered by the National Centre in HIV Social Research to produce an in-depth picture of patterns of injecting and non-injecting drug use on the Sydney gay 'scene'. As well as incorporating findings from the Sydney Men and Sexual Health (SMASH) study, the report provides an analysis of qualitative interview data collected from men. While the SMASH data indicate broad trends in drug use, the qualitative material focuses on the meanings and experiences of drug use among the men interviewed. The authors were particularly concerned with identifying patterns and contexts of use and broader phenomena that related to the collective function of drug use within the subcultural milieu.

(1999)ReportThis report explores sexual health issues among homosexually active male international students. Informants told us that international students from Asian backgrounds were reluctant to access student health and counselling services on issues of sexuality and sexual health, and that some international students were undertaking high-risk behaviours and presenting at off campus clinics, services and organisations with STD and sexuality concerns. Simultaneously, various health services and student services stated they were becoming increasingly aware that specific understandings were required when addressing the sexual health of homosexually active male international students from Asian backgrounds.

(1999)ReportThe project was designed to examine the resonances between gender as it is constructed in the occupational setting and the HIV-response of young people. Data were generated through a large-scale national survey of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) apprentices in the occupational streams of hairdressing, automotive, and commercial cookery. A total of 4283 apprentices from 52 colleges across all states and territories of Australia completed the survey. This report presents some main indices on HIV-related issues drawn from this database.

(1999)ReportThis report is a description of Aboriginal sexual health in NSW as seen by the workers themselves. It also incorporates current understandings of sexual health promotion, especially those in the National Indigenous Australians' Sexual Health Strategy 1996/97-1998/99 (NIASH), and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy 1996-97/ 1998-99 (NHS). The workers discussed and reflected upon their everyday experiences of sexual health program delivery, selecting particular health promotion initiatives and resources to illustrate what programs they believed to be effective and why. The report thus builds on sexual health workers' existing expertise.

(1999)ReportAt the start of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, considerable attention was paid to the risk of women becoming infected and the spread of HIV from gay men to the 'general community'. Early fears about the infectivity of HIV and spread via bisexual men have now largely been calmed in Australia, as the infection rates among women have remained low compared to those among men. Nonetheless, sex with a man remains the main risk for HIV transmission to women. During 1997, 66 women were newly diagnosed with HIV infection in Australia, 58 of them through heterosexual contact and 7 through injecting drug use (Australian HIV Surveillance Report April 1998).' However, it is important to remember that for a case of heterosexual' transmission of HIV to occur, neither party need be heterosexual.
