Unprotected anal intercourse remains the main way HIV is transmitted in Victoria, with over half of transmissions occurring from casual sex between men. A campaign was launched at gay bars to increase awareness of condom and lube use for casual partners and promote post-exposure prophylaxis. The campaigns were well attended and initial evidence suggests men are displaying posters in their private spaces, showing the resources are being embraced by the community.

24. Since the beginning of the epidemic it has been difficult to produce resources that gay men want to take into their private spaces. With this campaign posters are being removed and there is anecdotal evidence that men are putting them in their homes. We have produced a resource that gay men want. Replenishment of safe sex packs at fetish dance parties is required, as patrons welcome this delivery method of safe sex packs. In conclusion, I’d like to thank to Adam M one of my Outreach volunteers for the dance party photos, and to the rest of the Health Promotion Team for assistance with this presentation.
