Internationally, women account for 52% of all adults living with HIV. However within Australia, the majority of PLHIV are gay and bisexual men (GBM) with an estimated 3,000 (10%) of people living with diagnosed HIV in Australia being women. Women have had a long history of being left out of the Australian HIV focus and still today are not listed as a priority population within both the NSW HIV Strategy 2016–2020 or the recent Eighth National HIV Strategy 2018–2022.
