Funded Activity Summary

I am a trainee sexual health physician with a special interest in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and how it influences HIV transmission between men who have sex with men(MSM). I intend to achieve this by conducting research to help better define the causes of rectal STIs in MSM and what can be done to detect and treat them early. This will hopefully lead to a decrease in HIV transmission in a group who are at higher risk for STI/HIV infections and hence improve their overall health.
