2010 Sexual Health Conference

The theme of this year's conference is "Harbouring Desires".
Professor Michael Kidd (Chair of the Australian Government's Ministerial Advisory Committee on Blood Borne Viruses and Sexually Transmissible Infections) will open the Conference with the Gollow Lecture on Challenges for Sexual Health Medicine.
