Research Interest

I have been working with HIV in Africa since the first recognition of the epidemic on that continent in 1985. My initial work was focused on the epidemiology, natural history, and manifestations of HIV infection in African men and women. Building on previous work, this grew to include collaborative studies of the virologic, immunologic, and immunogenetic correlates of transmission from men to women and women to men. In addition to the observational studies, I have also worked on development and testing of HIV prevention strategies including behavioral (couples; HIV testing, combined prevention of HIV and unplanned pregnancy) and biomedical interventions (HIV vaccine candidates, vaginal microbicides, acyclovir). Recently, I have added a translational aspect to the work, with an emphasis on implementation of evidence-based prevention programs in the public health sector.
