Talk:HIV/AIDS in Australia

suggestions
This should help to approach a B rating. Graeme Bartlett 03:24, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Have a graph to show numbers of cases of detected HIV, and one to show deaths, with an axis of years. A timeline is another possibility.
 * Also a fair use image extracted from the grimreaper with the bowling ball ad would be a good addition.
 * Is there any international assistance provided by AU to other countries for this disease?
 * Are other charities involved?
 * How much money is the government speding (over the years)?
 * What are the AIDS coucils called?
 * What research is being conduted in Australia?


 * Thank you once again Graeme. I have written to Dept Health seeking copyright permission and an image - I understand there are fair use options, but have had trouble understanding the rules in this area, so will only pursue this if Dept Health assistance is not forthcoming. Have made a note in text to indicate the full list of AIDS Councils is at bottom of article. Have found some info on AIDS research in Aust, and have started to get more info on other NGOs. I will find info on international assistance (in a Lowy Institute paper). Graphs of cases - we'll see what i can manage! Not sure whether full govt expend figs avail, but will hunt.

 * Department of Health wrote to me and refused permission to use the grim reaper images under the conditions required for WP fair use. hamiltonstone (talk) 01:14, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * There is a free use image of the Grim Reaper commercial available on Wikipedia have uploaded it to the relevant section as suggested pshipton (talk) 00:52, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Criminal cases?
Just curious about the choice of criminal cases quoted. Why was the surname for the Hector case changed? And also, why only those two cases as examples of criminal prosecutions. I beleive there have been many more in recent years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pup2006 (talk • contribs) 07:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't know anything about the Hector case. The cases cited I think have just been those raised in references that I and other contributors happen to have read, have been significant in terms of public debate, or in terms of legal precedents. If you know of significant others, feel free to add in! hamiltonstone (talk) 01:14, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Staying focussed on relevant content
I'd like to suggest that not all recent additions to the article stay focussed on HIV/AIDS in Australia. There was a useful addition of numbers living with AIDS. But also added was this: "Research has identified anal mucus as a significant carrier of the HIV virus.[48] Anal sex, risk-reduction strategies have been identified and promoted to reduce the likelihood of transmission of HIV/AIDS." I'm not sure why this has been added to the article as it is medical information that should probably be discussed at HIV/AIDS rather than here. I propose it be removed and be taken to the talk page for the latter article for proposed addition (if that article does not already cover this). hamiltonstone (talk) 01:09, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Neal Blewett
The article should mention [Neal Blewett]. It's right to emphasise the grass roots efforts. On the other hand, people were trying to do similar things everywhere, and the article should explore why they were unusually effective in Australia. The fact that Australia had a gay minister for health at the time is an obvious point of difference.

text moved from article but which contains suggestions people might like to take up

 * Why does not anyone living in those hard years acknowledge the role of the Aids Memorial Quilt Project in its roles of respect, care and support for our friends (often in great pain). Secondly the support offered to families in their time of grief and loss to try and heal pains in positive ways (forget the pun). We all needed help to cope. And lastly but just as important our awareness raising in the community and schools etc etc that these were real people not just a statistics on a chart but real people who always had our hearts.

(I didn't write this text, i'm moving it here from the article itself, because it didn't meet WP guidelines, yet contains some suggestions). hamiltonstone (talk) 00:00, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
