About HIV Futures 11
HIV Futures is the largest and longest-running study of people living with HIV in Australia. Running since 1997, the study undertakes periodic surveys of Australians living with HIV.
HIV Future is run by the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society (ARCSHS), La Trobe University. The survey has been developed in consultation with HIV community organisations and it is officially supported by the National Association of People with HIV (NAPWHA), Health Equity Matters (HEM), and the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM).
Findings from the HIV Futures 11 survey are used to inform policy related to HIV in Australia and to shape service delivery.
We work closely with the HIV service sector to ensure that HIV FUTURES provides information of direct relevance to the needs and interests of this sector and their constituents. We also use the findings to report to Australia's Department of Health and Aged Care on the National HIV Strategy's targets related to quality of life among PLHIV. It is important that the HIV FUTURES survey accurately represents PLHIV in Australia in terms of the breadth and diversity and the range of issues relevant to living with HIV in contemporary Australia. We are very grateful to people for taking the time to complete this survey.
