Domestic mobility and experiences of disconnection from sexual health care among gay and bisexual men in Australia: insights from a qualitative study

Dean Murphy, Steven Philpot, Graham Brown, Garrett Prestage The extent to which domestic mobility has an effect on continuity of sexual health care is not well known. Based on in-depth interviews with HIV-positive gay and bisexual men about their experiences prior to diagnosis, we draw attention to how some participants became disconnected from sexual health services – and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) – as a result of moving between different Australian cities and states. Our findings suggest the need for more research on factors related to retention in sexual health care.
