Rise in syphilis prompts education forum

The community forum, to be held on Wednesday, November 24, will explore the complex issues around prevention, risk reduction, testing and notifying partners.

Recent figures indicate that in the year to March 2009, approximately 750 diagnoses of syphilis were made in Australia. Experts believe that the numbers are considerably higher.

A panel of specialists will be on hand to provide up-to-date information and available to respond to questions. Among them are ACON’s Geoff Honnor and Dr Fraser Drummond from the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research.
