"Risky gay sex is behind Australia's sharp surge in HIV infections, a
national study of hospital data has confirmed.

And while NSW has escaped the resurgence, others such as Victoria have
been hit hard, according to the report in the Medical Journal of
Australia.

The major survey of HIV rates found that 12,313 Australians were
infected with the lifetime disease in the 13 years between 1993 and
2006.

The number of new infections dropped 30 per cent in the 1990s and then
climbed back to the same high between 2000 and 2006.

Professor John Kaldor, deputy director at the National Centre in HIV
Epidemiology and Clinical Research, said the rise was due mainly to
risky sexual behaviour among gay men.

Virus exposure through male-to-male sex accounted for 70 per cent of
all cases, followed by heterosexual contact at 18 per cent."
