Includes 36 people whose sex was reported as transgender. The annual number of HIV diagnoses in Australia peaked in 1987. There followed twelve years of decline, after which the rate of diagnoses grew again to reach 1,1,36 in 2011 (after adjusting for multiple reporting).3 The annual number of AIDS diagnoses in Australia peaked in 1994 at 953 cases, and then declined rapidly to 216 in 1999. The fall since 1996 was largely due to the introduction of effective combination antiretroviral therapy, which delays progression from HIV infection to AIDS. back to top Exposure categories HIV transmission in Australia occurs primarily through sexual contact between men. Around 66% of people newly diagnosed with HIV in 2011 were among men who have sex with men; 25% were exposed through heterosexual contact; 3% were due to injecting drug use; and a further 3% were men with a history of both injecting drug use and sex with other men.4 back to top HIV and AIDS cases by state/territory, cumulative until end December 2011 State/Territory HIV* AIDS* Male Female Total Male Female Total Australian Capital Territory 302 40 342 95 10 105 New South Wales 15,191 1,075 16,528 5,672 289 5,980 Northern Territory 171 32 203 53 6 59 Queensland 3,642 425 4,076 1,116 81 1,199 South Australia 1,153 147 1,301 428 33 462 Tasmania 152 26 178 58 4 62 Victoria 5,944 533 7,131 2,252 136 2,401 Western Australia 1,546 333 1,886 475 51 528 Total 28,708 2,611 31,645 10,149 610 10,796 * Numbers may not sum to total due to rounding errors, people whose sex was reported as transgender, and diagnoses in more than one state or territory. Relative to population size, New South Wales has had by far the highest rate of HIV diagnoses. Victoria has had the second highest rate, followed by Capital Territory, Northern Territory and Queensland. back to top Ethnicity and country of origin Overall rates of HIV and AIDS diagnoses per capita have differed little between indigenous and non-indigenous people. However, there are significant differences in transmission routes. The most recent data shows that among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people diagnosed with HIV between 2005 and 2011, sex between men was the reported source of exposure to HIV in 51% of the population (compared to 72% in the non-Indigenous population). Heterosexual contact was the reported transmission route for 17% of cases in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (compared to 16% in the non-Indigenous population). The number of cases attributable to injecting drug use was higher among the Indigenous population (17%) than the non-Indigenous (2%). Women accounted for 21% of total HIV infections among the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population.5 People born in Australia accounted for 55% of HIV diagnoses in the period 2007-2011.6 back to top AIDS cases and deaths following AIDS, by sex and age, cumulative until end December 2011 Age Cases Deaths Male Female Total* Male Female Total* 0-12 33 24 57 23 12 35 13-19 28 7 35 15 3 18 20-29 1,497 133 1,646 700 50 761 30-39 4,065 224 4,301 2,495 111 2,615 40-49 2,965 121 3,091 2,101 64 2,167 50-59 1,136 58 1,198 845 37 883 60+ 425 43 468 326 38 364 Total 10,149 610 10,796 6,505 315 6,843 * Includes people whose sex was reported as transgender In Australia, further evidence of the benefits of improved therapy has come from the substantial improvement in length of life following the diagnosis of AIDS.

A sneak preview of results from an AVERT survey, due to be released on International Youth Day 2013 - 12 August, show that most young people prefer to get their sexual health and HIV/AIDS information online or via mobile, as it's quicker, confidential and cheap.
