This work has included studying the burden of HIV and HIV-related vulnerabilities and effective strategies leveraging new technologies to better serve gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, transgender women, people who use drugs, and sex workers across Western, Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa.
