I am a social behavioral scientist focused on addressing the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs and rights of couples and people living with HIV (PLHIV) with a focus on approaches for male engagement. My research interests include the intersection of reproductive health and HIV care in global contexts, HIV care and prevention engagement strategies, family planning, and HIV stigma. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Community Health Systems in the School of Nursing, the Division of Prevention Sciences, and the Dept. of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences. I have 20 years of experience with HIV, male engagement, and reproductive health projects in the US and various sub-Saharan African countries, including Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Mozambique, and Botswana. Over many years, my research has been concentrated on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of people affected by HIV across the continuum of care. I am currently the PI of an NIH-funded study (K01MH132435) focused on how to support the reproductive choices of couples in highly mobile communities in Kenya and how to improve male engagement in SRH to reduce HIV incidence. I am also developing a new line of research in South Africa that is examining how HIV testing and linkage strategies can be taken outside of clinic spaces and can offer confidential results in community settings. We are combining index partner HIV testing with an adapted couple-based relationship strengthening intervention to see if this approach will lead to greater HIV testing among men and improve linkage to HIV care and prevention services.
