I have expertise in designing and conducting online HIV-related research and intervention studies of men who have sex with men (MSM). Since 2002, I have collaborated with a team of researchers on Internet-based behavioral risk surveys of MSM, reaching over 60,000 men. In the past several years I have collaborated on digital technology interventions - specifically prevention videos, which can be viewed at HIVBigDeal.org. My research areas of interest include sexual risk reduction, online mental health screening, health disparities, sexual dysfunction, and substance use. My populations of interest are HIV+ MSM and Transgender Women.
