Our results found that frequent mouthwash use was associated with lower chlamydia prevalence, lower condom use and more sexual partners, suggesting potential STIs prevention among men who have sex with men. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and clarify the underlying mechanisms.

We used the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 to estimate the global burden of HIV/AIDS acquired through sexual transmission in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019, and we found it accounted for ~695.8 thousand deaths and 36.4 million disability-adjusted life years in 2019. Efforts should be made to improve access to education and contraceptives in high-risk regions.

We report on key themes from a half-day community forum held as part of the 2023 12th International AIDS Society Conference in Brisbane, Australia. Recommendations are made to remove unfair migration policies that contribute to HIV-related stigma, and an update to migration policies to reflect the current context and cost of biomedical approaches to HIV management and prevention.

Goller - Volume 21(4) Patient-delivered partner therapy (PDPT) involves providing a prescription or medication to a patient with chlamydia to pass to their sexual partner/s, but clinicians have expressed uncertainty about its permissibility and integration into practice. We surveyed clinician perspectives on updated health authority guidance for PDPT; finding they largely viewed it as supportive for PDPT decision-making and addressed some practical barriers. Low awareness of the updated guidance, and medico-legal concerns, for some, highlight scope for further dissemination and clarification of PDPT permissibility.

This innovative study reveals that CASA significantly boosts screening intentions, alleviates concerns about STIs, and fosters positive attitudes towards sexual health screening. Importantly, these findings underscore the potential of artificial intelligence to bridge gaps in health care and contribute to the broader goal of achieving health equity, particularly in underserved communities.

Using a patient-reported outcome measure (PozQol tool), we found that 58% of PLHIV reported a high or very high QOL, and socio-demographic factors such as Medicare-ineligibility and unemployment were associated with lower QOL scores. PozQol may assist services by enhancing understanding of QOL among PLHIV, guide local and national policy, health service provision, and promote empowerment of individuals to better understand their own QOL.

Most commonly cited reasons for not prescribing pre-exposure prophylaxis are lack of physician comfort and knowledge. We developed a mobile application (app) that can be used during patient encounters to help clinicians identify appropriate patients and appropriately prescribe therapy. This app can be used in low-resource settings where HIV prevalence is highest.

Mobile applications, such as Grindr, can be a valuable source of information on sociological predictors of health among MSM. We aimed to describe differences in the use of Grindr between MSM with and without obesity, and to use Grindr information to reveal trends that may serve as potential predictors of health. Our study highlights important trends that may serve as predictors of health in urban settings. These findings may be useful in informing providers and healthcare officials on when and how to provide outreach to this unique population.

Authors:E. Durban, K. English, R. Evans, S. Martin First page: SH24066 Abstract: E. Durban, K. English, R. Evans, S. Martin - Volume 21(4) Although designed to protect patients, the penicillin allergy label on medical records is associated with increased use of less effective, more toxic and more expensive antibiotics. This study found that patients with the label were significantly less likely to receive first-line treatment (ceftriaxone) for gonorrhoea infection, even if they were likely able to tolerate the antibiotic. This impact on antibiotic prescribing is detrimental to patient care, healthcare costs and antimicrobial stewardship, and may occur in other jurisdictions, populations and care settings.

This study evaluated a team-based model of care that involved a practice nurse who spoke Mandarin, and had advanced skills in sexual health care, who provided preventive care advice followed by a consultation with a GP. The model was well received by both patients and GPs; however, the challenge is finding appropriate mechanisms of funding for this model of care in Australian general practice.

We summarised the systems and tools that have been used to support users through the self-testing process (‘support systems’), and found a diverse range of support systems, including pictorial instructions, in-person support, and virtual tools. We have developed a typology to categorise these support systems, which can be used as a framework for further research.

Dean, James Ward - Volume 21(4) Sexually transmissible infections (STIs) rates among young Australians are increasing with young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples disproportionately affected. Similar patterns of key risk behaviours, and greater engagement in sexual health care among young Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples, refute suggestions that higher STI rates are caused by this population engaging in more risky behaviour compared to their non-Indigenous peers. Social determinants of health and STI rates among sexual networks should be priorities for future research and intervention.

Data about extragenital gonorrhoea infection in New Zealand is lacking. Using data from a sexual health service, this study shows that extragenital infection is common, occurs without urogenital infection at high rates, and has increased at a faster rate than urogenital infection among males, highlighting the importance of extragenital sampling.

Nightingale - Volume 21(4) Now available for the first time to young women and people with a cervix (aged 25–29 years), self-collection cervical screening is a safe, accurate and easy method to complete regular cervical screening without the use of a speculum. However, the best ways to communicate and promote self-collection to this age group has not been researched. This is important, because self-collection creates a positive screening experience, and will encourage young people to continue screening throughout their life, ultimately preventing cervical cancer.

Key priorities for U=U policy and research were the focus of a half-day global roundtable held alongside the 2023 International AIDS Society conference. There is a need to include all priority populations in U=U policy and promotion. Adopting language of ‘zero risk’, was identified as crucial when describing U=U. Addressing structural barriers to HIV care is vital to ensure the full benefits of U=U are realised.

Compared to an earlier study cohort, the median age at first sex was slightly increased in this cohort and there was a small delay in first-sex activity. This study elicits evidence of changes in sexual practice which could translate into targeted sexually transmitted infections prevention strategies.

Investigating 457 adolescents aged 13–18 years old, we found that those who viewed pornography more frequently exhibited more negative attitudes towards condoms. Notably, irrespective of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, or sexual activity status, this relationship persisted, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and experimental studies to enhance pornography literacy among adolescents.

Evidence suggests that women with greater pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength have better sexual function. Sexually active women have better PFM endurance than inactive women. However, it has also been reported that PFM strength is not correlated with sexual function. Here, we assessed female PFM function with electromyography, and explored the relationships between electromyography parameters and sexual dysfunction, in an attempt to provide an objective basis for sexual dysfunction diagnosis and treatment.
