This researcher studies HIV prevention, testing, and care among marginalized and stigmatized populations, including men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender women, and African migrants and refugees, with a strong focus on Ghana, other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, and diaspora/migrant communities in Europe and the US. The work combines qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches to understand how stigma, economic hardship, and social context shape HIV risk behaviors and willingness to use prevention tools like PrEP and HIV self-testing. Prospective students would engage with global health and HIV implementation science research centered on sexual and gender minority health equity.
