TL;DR: A rapid increase in PrEP use by gay and bisexual men in Melbourne and Sydney was accompanied by an equally rapid decrease in consistent condom use, and other jurisdictions should consider the potential for community-level increases in CAIC when modelling the introduction of PrEP and in monitoring its effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of diversion and injection of methadone and buprenorphine among clients receiving opioid treatment at community pharmacies in New South Wales, Australia
TL;DR: The higher prevalence of buprenorphine diversion compared to methadone diversion is likely to be due to its sublingual tablet formulation and difficulty associated with supervising its consumption compared to that of an oral liquid.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Findings are indicative of the need for more responsive and targeted AOD harm reduction and treatment services for LGBTI communities in Australia and of concern is the elevated risk among LGB women for earlier initiation of substance use, and the development of problematic consumption patterns.
