Major Research Interests
I study social and behavioral determinants of sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV in the US and globally. A key area of interest is study of the intersection of incarceration and STI/HIV risk including identification of the degree to which psychosocial factors such as trauma, substance use, psychiatric co-morbidity, and the disruptive effects of incarceration drive risk among those involved in the criminal justice system. I also have an interest in studying social factors including education, poverty, and mobility and migration as determinants of STI/HIV risk in international settings.

Syndemics, STI and HIV in Black Men who have Sex with Men and Women
Using prospective data from the HIV Prevention Trials Network 061 (HPTN061) study, a large, multi-site study
conducted to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a multi-component intervention for Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) including Black men who have sex with men and women (BMSMW), we propose to characterize syndemics affecting BMSMW and to measure associations between syndemics and high-risk sex partnerships and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV.
