What inspires you to work in the HIV field?

The HIV epidemic in Africa has highlighted critical gaps in healthcare capacities and systems. Therefore, working in HIV research contributes to improving healthcare systems that benefit African populations more broadly.

What are your goals as an IAS change maker?

My goals are to contribute to the evidence of contextually relevant and sustainable programming that broadly improve African health systems and the care outcomes of persons living with HIV.
