TI Who calls the Sydney HIV/AIDS Information Line?
DT 9412
AU Harvey-Sutton P; Nelson M; Tomkins M; Albion St. Centre, Surry Hills.
SO Annu Conf Australas Soc HIV Med. 1993 Oct 28-30;5:74 (poster no. 2).
Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE ASHM5/94349036
AB Since its inception in 1985 the NSW HIV/AIDS Information Line receives
an average of 100 calls per day from which statistics are gathered about
the caller's sex, location, sexuality, transmission issues, risk
behaviour, nature of enquiry, and referral/action taken. These
statistics can be used to assess areas of HIV education deficit and
response to public education campaigns. During the Grim Reaper Campaign,
calls rose to an average of 300 calls per day. Calls to the Information
Line are mostly from metropolitan heterosexuals (more male than female)
enquiring about oral sex, HIV antibody screening, seroconversion and
safe sex. Referrals are mostly to local HIV antibody screening sites,
Albion St. Centre (medical and counselling) services, HIV/AIDS
organisations (e.g. the AIDS Council of NSW), and HIV/AIDS support
groups. The prevalence of heterosexual callers asking about safe sex has
implications for the education of groups who are not currently targeted
for HIV education.
