ACT Together - LGBTIQA+ and Fostering Kids in the ACT

By Georgia Hitch | Posted Sat 25 Jun 2016 at 9:06am

As an openly gay man living in Canberra during the beginnings of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Dr Rowland founded the Interchange General Practice above the Civic bus interchange in the early 1980s.

One of his co-workers Dr Denise Kraus said the practice gave Canberra's 'fringe-dwellers' a safe and supportive space.

Dr Rowland's ethos of equality and non-judgemental treatment became incredibly important to HIV-positive Canberrans in the 1980s.

Dr Tuck Meng Soo, who started working with Dr Rowland at the practice only months before his death, said Dr Rowland realised early on that HIV/AIDS was not an issue confined to the gay community.

Manu Bhat is a HIV positive woman living in India, and Dr Niveditha Manokaran is a Sexual Health, Reproductive Health and HIV clinician living in Sydney. We spoke about their relationship with Dr Suniti Solomon, a late HIV specialist who began matchmaking her HIV+ patients who struggled to find love and marriage.
