Prevention and treatment methods for HIV and other infectious diseases are continually evolving as new diseases emerge and innovations are made to reduce disease transmission. If you’re a nurse practitioner (NP) interested in effective strategies for disease containment; pandemic risk, impact and mitigation; or innovations in treatment-resistant coinfections, the Infectious Disease and HIV Community is a great fit for you. This AANP Community offers a unique opportunity to interactively collaborate with colleagues who share your interest and clinical expertise. As a community member, you’ll have access to a cutting-edge, online forum where you can engage in discussions, document sharing and knowledge exchange with your fellow NPs. Come learn, share and help progress the development of theory and practice in infectious disease management.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the AANP Infectious Disease and HIV Community. I am honored to serve as one of the group's co-chairs. As a certified Adult-Gerontology Primary Care NP, I have been working in the field of HIV since 1997. I have served as the national President for the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (ANAC) and am the Co-medical Director for the American Academy of HIV Medicine's HIV Age initiative. In addition to my clinical practice in New York, I am a professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey. My areas of interest include HIV and aging, PrEP, HIV and hepatitis co-infection, STIs and other emerging diseases. I look forward to dialoguing, supporting, advocating and learning from all members of this community.
