Impact case studies

From the lab to the streets, our institute has been at the forefront of scientific discoveries and public health breakthroughs. Read through our impact case studies below.

A PrEP pill in the palm of a hand

Impact case study: HIV prevention in Australia

Through community and government partnerships, Kirby Institute research demonstrated that targeted, at-scale, rapid implementation of PrEP quickly reduces new HIV infections. This research provided an evidence base to inspire other countries to roll out PrEP quickly and at scale.
