ABC NEWS – Women living with HIV no longer a priority group
16/05/2025
Women living with HIV no longer a priority group, despite higher risks of late diagnosis and lack of specialised support.
In this ABC News article and video, HIV advocates and two women living with HIV, Del Batton Northern Territory AIDS & Hepatitis Council and Jane Costello Positive Life NSW
advocate how women living with HIV have been dropped as a priority population for testing in the latest Australian national HIV strategy, despite being more likely to be diagnosed late.
Researchers say women with HIV face unique health problems, particularly if the virus is only discovered late.
