Overview
Investigation of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical features of HIV/AIDS internationally. Interaction between STDs and tropical diseases on the natural history and spread of HIV/AIDS in developing countries. Recent research has examined the viral kinetics and transmission probabilities of HIV among discordant couples with the subsequent design and application of interventions including therapy to prevent transmission of HIV. Molecular studies have mapped the molecular epidemic of HIV on a global basis, linking virologic changes to the spread of HIV and measuring the demographic impact of the epidemic. Implementation of clinical care programs for HIV, STDs, and other infectious diseases while advocating for improved clinical education for African physicians and implementing public health policy from these and other research findings.
He serves as advisor/consultant on HIV and STDs to the World Health Organization, Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (PEPFAR), UNAIDS, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In 2004 he became a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science. He is a founding member of the Academic Alliance for AIDS Care and Prevention in Africa; founding director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health.He is an author of approximately 900 publications on HIV, STDs, and infectious diseases.
