Ethical aspects of infectious disease control

在最近的试验中，两种使用抗艾滋病毒药物进行预防的新策略被证明是有效的。这增加了预防选择，但可能会对“安全性行为文化”构成挑战。该研究金将分析新的艾滋病毒预防战略的伦理方面，探索感染艾滋病毒或处于艾滋病毒高危状态的澳大利亚人如何理解艾滋病毒预防的新形式，并将其纳入性谈判。它还将审查新的预防战略如何影响将艾滋病毒传播定为刑事犯罪的法律。

Two new strategies that use anti-HIV drugs for prevention have been proven effective in recent trials. This increases prevention options but may pose challenges to ‘safe sex culture’. This fellowship will analyse ethical aspects of new HIV prevention strategies by exploring how Australians with or at high risk of HIV understand and incorporate new forms of HIV prevention into sexual negotiation. It will also examine how new prevention strategies affect laws that criminalise HIV transmission.
