The MHAHS International Student’s Project Officer, Galuh Sapthari, reports increasing interest from a number of educational institutes and services to collaborate with the project.
“We have a number of educational institutes expressing interest to collaborate with us and engage their teachers and students alike in increasing awareness of HIV testing, prevention and treatment. Discussions are already afoot in developing an English language curriculum using HIV as a topic at some centres and scheduling training workshops at others in the coming months. We are determined to provide our international student communities with necessary HIV information and keep them safe,” Ms Galuh said.
There are more than 600,000 international students in Australia in 2017 with over 260,000 enrolments in NSW.
The Project is aimed at raising awareness of contemporary HIV testing, prevention and treatment options among overseas students studying in NSW. It encourages international students to seek free help from relevant HIV services if they feel they are at risk while studying in NSW.
