Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the risk factors for oropharyngeal gonorrhea specifically among female and gender-diverse sex workers, addressing the lack of research in this area despite rising infection rates.
- Conducted as a mixed methods case-control study in Australia from 2018 to 2020, it involved 83 sex workers with oropharyngeal gonorrhea and 581 without, along with interviews from 19 participants in Melbourne.
- Key findings reveal that performing condomless fellatio is significantly linked to oropharyngeal gonorrhea, while most sex workers commonly use mouthwash and are cautious about condom use, highlighting the need for targeted prevention strategies.
Our study examined factors associated with transgender and gender diverse ("trans") people's experience of sexual coercion, as well as the factors associated with help-seeking and wellbeing among victims/survivors. We analyzed cross-sectional data from the first Australian Trans and Gender Diverse Sexual Health Survey, conducted in 2018. Logistic regressions were undertaken to identify factors associated with sexual coercion, help-seeking, and wellbeing.

We aimed to investigate whether treatment-as-prevention could achieve population-level reductions in HIV incidence among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) in Australia's most populous states, New South Wales and Victoria.
Methods: TAIPAN was a longitudinal cohort study using routine health record data extracted from 69 health services that provide HIV diagnosis and care to GBM in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia.
Sexual and romantic satisfaction are important aspects of sexual health and wellbeing, but they have not been thoroughly investigated among transgender and gender diverse ('trans') people in Australia. To address this gap and improve sexual health and wellbeing, we assessed the sexual behavior and relationships of a national sample of trans people in Australia, and factors associated with sexual and romantic satisfaction. We conducted a national survey of trans people from Australia in October-November 2018.
