HIV/AIDSAddressing cancer treatment disparities for persons with HIV
This study is to investigate disparities by HIV status and modifiable risk factors for delays in cancer treatment initiation, treatment completion, and short- and long-term adverse events for persons with HIV (PWH) who were members of the Veteran’s Administration or Kaiser Permanente, the two largest healthcare systems in the United States. Study findings will provide necessary data to inform HIV-specific cancer treatment guidelines and improve cancer care delivery and outcomes for PWH.

HIV/AIDSDeveloping an HIV Specific-Specific Prevention Index Using Electronic Medical Record (HIV PI)
The goals of this study are to assess in HIV-infected patients, the degree of association between successful general clinical care by HIV disease-treating providers (reflected in overall adherence to recommended general prevention and screening guidelines) and higher-quality HIV-specific care and related clinical outcome.

2010 - 2013Effects of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) on Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Health and Risk for Cardiovascular Disease
The U.S. Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative aims to expand HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) provision to over a half million at-risk Americans by 2025. This multisite cohort study would be the first to systematically assess the impact of PrEP on cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health among diverse populations using comprehensive electronic health record data from three large integrated healthcare systems. The knowledge gained from this study will help inform evidence-based PrEP guidelines and develop tailored prevention strategies to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among people taking PrEP.
