AB A successful intersectoral HIV/AIDS program encompassing all levels of
government (including local government), all State government
departments, non-government organisations, industry and commerce was
designed, negotiated and implemented from 1984 on. Given the
conservative political climate and legal base, the decentralised nature
of the population with medium and small rural communities holding strong
conservative values, a marginalised Aboriginal and Torres Straight
Islander (ATSI) population together with other marginalised groups, and
a conservative education and law enforcement system, the successful
negotiations through Parliament, the bureaucracy and the general
community may provide useful strategies for other constituencies. Issues
to be addressed include: mainstreaming, STDs and infection control;
police and prison education, needle exchange and drug related
strategies; homosexual, sex industry and ATSI issues; forming and
funding NGOs; notification; collection of data; confidentiality, testing
and contact tracing; and treatment issues in a wide spread population.
