It focuses on the epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, human papillomavirus (HPV), syphilis, and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), with an emphasis on primary and secondary prevention. She has extensive methodological experience in the design and implementation of: observational longitudinal studies with primary and secondary data; sexual behavior and health-access questionnaires; natural history studies using laboratory markers of infection; and, most recently, pragmatic randomized trials for HPV prevention and improved screening for syphilis, cervical and anal cancer.
