This resource was developed in collaboration with the Indigenous Australians' Sexual Health Committee (IASHC) and was funded by the Office for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH), Department of Health and Ageing. It was designed for use by general practitioners and other interested clinicians and health care workers.
The package contains a copy of the video (a CD version is available) 'Talking Together', a users guide with training materials and activities, and a copy of the ASHM monograph HIV/Viral Hepatitis - a guide for primary care. The manual offers practical advice for risk assessment, testing, diagnosis, and basic principles of management of HIV and viral hepatitis. The incorporation of viral hepatitis reflects the trends in public policy and medical practice towards locating HIV/AIDS within the broader public health and sexual health context.
