NSW aiming for HIV elimination in 5 years – 7NEWS.com.au
A new plan has been launched by NSW Health that seeks to virtually eliminate the transmission of HIV in the state within five years.
HIV transmission in NSW will be virtually eliminated in five years if a new government strategy is effective.
The plan, announced by NSW Health on Monday, will target priority populations, with additional efforts to prevent, test and treat the virus.
Some 206 NSW residents were diagnosed with HIV last year, a decrease of one third compared to the five-year average.
Only about a third of the newly diagnosed people had shown symptoms for longer than 12 months, meaning they had also sought help earlier.
