Melbourne Sexual Health Centre research

The Centre maintains strong research and education activities through the School of Translational Medicine, Monash University and the Sexual Health Unit of the School of Population Health, University of Melbourne.

Collaboration with our partners provides opportunities for our staff and clients to access recent advances in sexually transmissible infection and HIV treatment and prevention. We continue to grow with effective partnerships operating locally, nationally and internationally.
