Research Interests
For the past few years, I have been examining HIV infection among older adults in Africa. The work initially focused on assessing the epidemiologic baseline including prevalence and mortality and was followed by research on attitudes and behaviours as well as treatment outcomes. Current research is examining the lived experiences of older adults with HIV as well as clinical outcomes especially co-morbidities and health trajectories.
Projects
Direct and indirect impacts of HIV on older adults; a SAGE sub-study.
