After a gay man tested HIV positive, a test of his hair indicated he’d adhered well to PrEP—but did he contract a drug-resistant strain?

An annual surveillance report on STIs and other blood-borne illnesses also found that new cases of hepatitis B are down among youths.

New South Wales, which includes Sydney, is likely seeing the benefits of new HIV prevention efforts.
