I am a Research Associate working with the Manicaland Centre for Public Health Research; a major collaborative HIV/STD prevention research initiative based in Manicaland, east Zimbabwe.

The Manicaland Centre hosts a population-based, open cohort survey investigating the dynamics of HIV transmission and its impact.

My PhD investigated methods to 1) evaluate and differentiate risk of HIV acquisition in adolescent and young people and 2) evaluate and apply a multi-level framework measuring use, and barriers to use, of primary HIV prevention methods.

Current projects include:

developing improved methods for collecting data in population-based surveys for use in measuring and interpreting HIV prevention cascades
understanding and improving the uptake of HIV prevention methods among young people in Manicaland
harnessing male peer networks to enhance engagement with HIV prevention: a large-scale cluster randomized trial to increase HIV self-testing and PrEP uptake among men in Eastern Zimbabwe
