The RISE (Recent Diagnosis and the Impact of Support on the Experiences of HIV) study was funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Partnership Grant (APP1134433), with partnership funding from state and territory health departments, and in-kind support from peer-based HIV organisations. The study aimed to explore experiences of HIV seroconversion, diagnosis, and HIV clinical care, as well as to investigate the impact of HIV support services on people’s overall well-being, and linkage to – and retention in – HIV care.
