Research Abstract |
My HIV/AIDS research concerns several areas: 1) Kaposi's sarcoma and human herpes virus eight, particularly the seroepidemiology of HHV-8 and its shedding in semen and saliva 2) Other herpesvirus infections, HSV & CMV 3) HIV in special populations such as youth and people of color, particularly epidemiology and risk behavior |
