Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent this bulletin at 11/19/2012 02:11 PM EST
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of STD Prevention (DSTDP) and the American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association (ASTDA) have partnered to bring you the latest research and best practices for STD prevention with the STD Prevention Science Series 2012.
This quarterly series will bring lectures on cutting edge issus by scientists and program experts to persons interested in the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
The Road From Observation to Intervention to Implementation: Perspectives of a Pragmatic HIV Prevention Researcherby Connie Celum, MD, MPH
In this webinar, Dr. Celum will describe lessons learned in moving from observational epidemiology of STIs and HIV interaction with a focus on HSV-2 to testing interventions to reduce HIV acquisition and transmission. She will describe current work on combination HIV prevention to achieve high coverage of HIV testing and linkages to effective interventions (HIV treatment and male circumcision) in subSaharan Africa.
Dr. Celum is an infectious diseases epidemiologist, with research interests focusing on HIV prevention trials to find effective strategies to reduce HIV acquisition and transmission. Dr. Celum was the Principal Investigator of efficacy trials of herpes suppression for prevention of HIV acquisition (HPTN 039), herpes suppression for HIV transmission and disease progression (Partners in Prevention HSV/HIV Transmission Study and HPTN 039) in the US, Peru, and Africa. She is the Principal Investigator of the Partners PrEP Study of pre-exposure antiretroviral prophylaxis among HIV serodiscordant couples in Kenya and Uganda. She is the Principal Investigator of combination HIV prevention studies to achieve high coverage of knowledge of HIV serostatus through home-based HIV testing, with linkages to HIV care and evidence-based HIV prevention interventions (e.g., medical male circumcision) in South Africa and Uganda.
