inequality among First Peoples of Australia

3. The current situation
• Many efforts to reduce STI and HIV
• Few areas nationally that are doing well
• STIs and HIV still not easy to discuss
• Remote and regional areas particularly impacted by STIs
4. The Northern Territory Youth Health
Summit Declaration
• Sexual and reproductive health concerns all people. Historically the issue
has not been discussed openly and honestly. We need to change this. To do
this there must be current and relevant education, which fosters healthy
expectations and relationships. This should be encouraged through candid
discussion at all level of society and with all ages.
5. Four major issues impacting STI and BBVs
and our peoples
1. Ongoing high rates of STIs in many communities
2. Syphilis outbreak northern and central Australia
3. HIV is increasing
4. Hepatitis C associated with injection drug use

8/8) were among Aboriginal women.
10. Characteristics and Impact of Disseminated Gonococcal
Infection in the “Top End” of Australia The American Journal of
Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
Johanna M. Birrell1, Manoji Gunathilake1, Sally
Singleton1, Shellee Williams1, Vicki Krause1
• 2010-2018
• 94 cases of DGI among Aboriginal people
• Highest incidence in 15-19 year age group
• Ninety-four patients (88.7%) presented with purulent arthritis.
• Disseminated gonococcal infection was estimated to cause at least
10.0% of nonpenetrating septic arthritis in the Top End and 1,234
days of hospitalization during the study period.
11. Syphilis Outbreak
• >3000 cases since outbreak
started
• North QLD- 1412
• NT -1157
• WA -394
• SA -80
• Around 60% in 15-29 year age
group
12. Syphilis Point of Care Testing
Patient Testing
• 50µL of finger prick (or venous) blood added to sample pad
• Wait 1 minute, add 1 drop of Chase Buffer to sample pad
• Wait 15 minutes, read result

28. Precision Public Health for STIs
Health Service Data- Access, Testing coverage, retesting,
incidence, prevalence, management of STI and BBV, elimination
of HCV
Understanding issues on ground- mobility, concurrency, what
works for young people
Pathogen genomics - transmission networks, clusters - early
detection of outbreaks- precise treatment
Linking data esp SDOH using Indigenous data sovereignty
principles e.g. by clan SDOH granular level
Trials of interventions
29. Can Meningococcal vaccination impact on Gonorrhoea
B Part of it NT
• Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) and Neisseria
gonorrhoeae (Ng) - same bacterial genus and
share large proportion of primary genetic
sequences
• Suggestive evidence of protective effect from
4CMenB vaccine for Neisseria gonorrhoea
• Studies from NZ and Canada show 31% (1) &
59% (2) RR of NG
• World first and opportunity to conduct a sufficiently
powered study to generate evidence1. Petousis-Harris H, Paynter J, Morgan J, et al 2017

33. Impact of 4CMenB vaccine on gonorrhoea
• Impact on gonorrhoea; observational data
• VE=31% (21, 39; p=<0.001) [MeNZB; New
Zealand] Âł
• VE= 59% (- 22.0, 84; p=0.1) [4CMenB; Quebec]
• 80-90% genetic homology between Neisseria
meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Low genetic diversity of gonococcus in remote areas, key proteins eg. porB expressed by the
gonococcal strains in the NT show very close homology to meningococcal strains causing
disease in the NT (personal communication D Whiley)
34. Overview of Eliminate Hepatitis C (EC) Australia
• EC Australia -funded by the Paul Ramsay Foundation
• Aim: To support and facilitate a national coordinated response to
ensure we meet our elimination targets.
• This work will focus on:
• People who inject drugs, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, people
in prison and men who have sex with men co-infected with HIV
• People living with hepatitis C that are at risk of progressing to severe liver
disease and HCC
• Ensure at least 15,000 Australians with chronic hepatitis C are
treated and cured of their infection annually
35. EC Australia Components
• Aboriginal and TI Leadership
Group to be formed
• To guide direction of EC
• To provide insight into
achieving EC goals
36. HIV
• Achieving equity
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander HIV Awareness Week
• www.atsihiv.org.au
• TASP
• PrEP
• Other prevention methods
37. In summary
• STIs/BBVs remain a wicked issue that prevalence has been hard to
shift
• Approaching STI control with a syndemics lens – Understanding how
STIs are exacerbated by the social, economic, environmental and
political milieu in which a population is immersed
• Language in STI control is important
• Centering communities has to be done better to enable strength based
approaches to be implemented
• Reforms are required as is a long term vision
STRIVE (2009-2011) – Trial conducted in 68 remote Aboriginal communities in northern and central Australia
49% of females and 33% of males aged 16-19 years had a least one of the common non-viral STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomonas).
