2020 - 2025: Improving the care and management of people with STIs and BBVs

We are identifying, understanding and managing factors influencing uptake of healthcare interventions, continuity-in-care and outcomes in persons with STIs/BBVs.

For example, effective treatment requires better understanding of viral genetic factors influencing treatment response, especially for those with rare virus strains which disproportionately affect ethnic minority populations. Additionally, individuals with BBVs/STIs often experience co-morbidities that affect their health and wellbeing.
