Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have been working in research with HIV/AIDS for nearly 10 years, from undergraduate/graduate levels to more professional scenarios. As a CHES and a health educator, I designed and am testing an intervention for a federally funded project designed to reduce stigma among HIV+MSM in contexts with high levels of social stigma. I have previously co-authored various scientific articles/works. Recent scientific interests include the contextualization of stigma for HIV and sexual orientation and aging.
