STI & BBV Sector Forums

The Sexual Health and Blood-borne Virus Program facilitates a forum on sexual health, sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and blood-borne viruses (BBVs) 3 times a year.

Forum participants come from a wide range of government, non-government and private organisations and work in a variety of roles including clinical, health promotion, disease control, education, and research.

The forum is designed to provide STI and BBV updates, professional development and networking opportunities.
