Impact of increased antiretroviral therapy use during the treatment as prevention era in Australia

Richard T. Gray We analysed the impact of increased ART during the early initiation and treatment-as-prevention era on HIV epidemiology and healthcare costs in Australia. Using a retrospective modelling analysis over the 2009–2019 period, we calculated the potential impact of increased ART use on HIV among gay and bisexual men (GBM). Increasing the proportion of Australian GBM on effective ART during 2009–2019 likely resulted in substantial reductions in new HIV infections and cost savings.
