My specialist interests are in infectious diseases and sexual health. I have been involved with a number of research trials for testing new HIV drugs and treatments for sexually transmitted diseases. I also have a keen interest in clinical research design and methods to improve recruitment to research trials. I am currently studying for a PhD on Loneliness amongst women with a HIV diagnosis.
