This qualitative longitudinal study was conducted between 2004 and 2010 in collaboration with the Heterosexual HIV/AIDS Service NSW (Pozhet).

This project is exploring the acceptability, safety, impact and feasibility of prescribing daily pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to people at risk of HIV infection. It is also investigating the uptake of PrEP among eligible individuals and the reasons people choose this HIV prevention strategy.

This study extends recently completed work on agentic practice among privileged young women in England.
