We continue our coverage from the Australasian Society of HIV Medicines (ASHM) Conference with conversations.

Joel speaks with Brooke and Rodrigo from the Burnett Foundation about the criminalisation of HIV in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Leigh Boucher talks about a project from Macquarie University exploring the impact of the first years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in its Australian epicentre, Darlinghurst in Sydney’s inner east.

We also hear about a study into sexual health education for young LGBTIQA+ people and their parents from Alex from La Trobe University and one of the study’s participants, Ruby.
