Following consideration of the results of the evaluation, the trial was extended to October 2007 and the NSW Health Department commissioned the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research (NCHECR) to undertake a second evaluation covering the period November 2002 to April 2007. The current evaluation is directed by a comprehensive evaluation protocol and overseen by an Advisory Committee.
