The NSW Sexually Transmissible Infections Programs Unit (STIPU) is an implementation arm of the Centre for Population Health, NSW Ministry of Health. The work of NSW STIPU is guided by the NSW Sexually Transmissible Infections (STI) and the NSW HIV Strategies. These strategies aim to reduce HIV and STIs and associated morbidity and mortality in NSW. This is achieved through the delivery of state-wide population level sexual health programs, working with public and private health systems to build the capacity for prevention, treatment and management of STIs, and working with priority populations and priority settings.

NSW STIPU provides leadership and expertise in the areas of evidence-based sexual health clinical practice and health promotion, harm reduction and community engagement. The Unit also develops strategic partnerships with key agencies and stakeholders across the health system and in whole of government settings.

The Unit’s primary purpose is to develop, implement and evaluate sexual health promotion programs which:
