These are delivered from multiple sites and settings such as in the community and on hospital campuses.

The HIV/AIDS and Related Programs (HARP) Unit is located within the Directorate of Planning, Population Health and Equity. The HARP Unit has a central role in supporting the coordination and integration of HIV, sexual health and viral hepatitis local and statewide services and programs across South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD), Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) and St Vincent’s Health Network (Darlinghurst).
