The transmission of HIV, hepatitis B, and syphilis from parent to child is preventable. Yet across Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Timor-Leste, barriers to testing and treatment in antenatal healthcare means that babies are being born with these preventable conditions every day. Recent estimates indicate that in 2024 in PNG, 2,700 infants were newly infected with HIV - equivalent to seven babies per day.

Since 2022, the Supporting Triple Elimination in PNG and Timor-Leste (STEPT) project has been supporting locally-led efforts towards eliminating parent-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B.

See how STEPT is strengthening local healthcare systems and making an impact towards achieving triple elimination in PNG and Timor-Leste in our latest video 🎬

STEPT is delivered in partnership between ASHM, Maluk Timor, Catholic Church Health Services PNG, Madang Provincial Health Authority, Milne Bay Provincial Health Authority, Papua New Guinea National Department of Health,
and Timor-Leste Ministry of Health (Palácio das Cinzas). STEPT is supported by the Australian Government through the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP) and ASHM Members.

What an incredible four days of learning, collaboration and connection at the Australasian HIV&AIDS and Sexual and Reproductive Health Conferences 2026!

Together, we welcomed 980 delegates, delivered 72 sessions, showcased 243 research posters and supported the next generation of leaders through 81 scholarships.

From inspiring keynote presentations and cutting-edge research to powerful lived experience voices and practical discussions, this year’s conferences highlighted both the progress being made across HIV, sexual and reproductive health and the work that still lies ahead.

A special thank you to our conveners Prof Jason Ong, Dr Jillian Lau, Catherine Bateman and Prof Catriona Bradshaw for their vision, leadership and dedication in shaping such an outstanding program.

We're also deeply grateful to our major supporters
ViiV Healthcare, Gilead Sciences, and Australian Centre for Disease Control, whose ongoing support helps us share evidence, strengthen partnerships and drive better health outcomes across the region.

Thank you to every speaker, presenter, exhibitor, sponsor and delegate who contributed their time, expertise and passion to make this conference such a success.

The conversations don't stop here. We can't wait to continue this important work with you and do it all again in Nipaluna (Hobart) for HIV&AIDS and ASRH 2027. See you there!

💝🎤 On Tuesday our Acting Director-General, Emily Harper delivered the welcome address at the Australasian Sexual and Reproductive Health Conference, jointly held with the Australasian HIV&AIDS Conference, hosted by ASHM.

From 14 to 17 September the conferences will bring together leaders across HIV, sexual and reproductive health to share evidence, strengthen partnerships and support better health outcomes across Australasia.

We’re proud to sponsor these important conferences and support the abstract session on syphilis and using data to inform public health responses.

At the Australian CDC we’re working with state and territory governments, the health sector and community organisations to support nationally coordinated action, improve awareness and increase access to prevention, testing and treatment of all blood borne viruses and sexually transmissible infections.
