For over 40 years, the University of Manitoba has been in collaboration with the sex-working community and the University of Nairobi in Kenya to advance scientific knowledge on HIV treatment, prevention, and risk. As part of this research collaboration, I will be working with local community members and researchers to explore the interplay between HIV risk and immunological mechanisms.
