The overall notification rate of new HIV diagnoses in 2019 was 3.6 per 100 000 population, representing a 13% decline in the last five years (2015 to 2018). In 2019, the notification rate was highest among men (6.5 per 100,000 population: 0.8 per 100,000 in females) particularly those aged 20-29 years and 30-39 years (15.3 and 20.5 per 100,000 population respectively).

In 2019, the notification rate of new HIV diagnoses in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population was lower than the Australian-born non-Indigenous population, 3.3 and 3.6 per 100,000 population respectively (table 1). This comparison is in contrast to the previous 5 years, where the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has consistently had higher notification rates than the Australian-born non-Indigenous population.

*Trends in HIV notification rates in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population are based on small numbers and may reflect localised occurrences rather than national patterns.
