My research focuses on substance use and HIV prevention. Recent projects have examined the role of the Internet as an HIV prevention tool, the use of substances and sexual risk behavior in men who are traveling for leisure, and the relationship between literacy, numeracy, and disease progression in HIV-positive adults. One of my current projects examines the non-medical use of prescription medications in both young heterosexual adults and in gay and bisexual men. My work seeks to develop interventions that promote sexual health. I am particularly interested in novel interventions in new venues not normally accessed by prevention workers, including prevention activities with persons who are on vacation, or who meet sexual partners online.
