My tuberculosis-related research focuses on the intersections of alcohol, HIV, and TB in sub-Saharan Africa. My current work is seeking to establish associations between alcohol use levels and tuberculosis infection incidence and prevalence among people living with HIV in order to inform TB prevention efforts. Clinically, I attend on the HIV/Infectious disease inpatient consult service at ZSFG and care for patients at the Ward 86 Positive Health Practice.
