Research shaping today’s response to HIV with Dr Jason Ong

Advocacy and Activism, Health, HIV, Science & Medicine, Thorne Harbour Health (VAC), World AIDS Day

As a clinician, epidemiologist, and a health economist, Dr Jason Ong specialises in sexual health and has tackled a wide array of projects and he’s particularly passionate about addressing HIV and sexual health more broadly amongst marginalised communities.

Jason speaks with Jack about his work as well as what’s on the horizon with regard to the future in HIV.

In light of World AIDS Day coming up on Dec 1, we’re speaking with doctors with expertise in HIV/AIDS care and research alongside community members who were part of Thorne Harbour Health’s new HIV Still Matters campaign. You can watch their stories here.
