After 21 years of research into HIV treatment and prevention, the team at Darlinghurst’s National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research (NCHECR) threw themselves a birthday bash.

Monday night’s Darling Harbour party was graced by the likes of the Hon. Justice Michael Kirby, University of New South Wales (UNSW) vice-chancellor Professor Frederick Hilmer and NCHECR director Professor David Cooper.

Established by the Australian government in 1986 in response to the widespread outbreak of HIV/AIDS, NCHECR has become one of the leading HIV research bodies in Australia.

Professor Andrew Grulich from NCHECR said the centre coordinates most of the clinical trials for HIV research in Australia and is relied upon for its surveillance of the epidemic.
