Please join us for lunch as Patrick Sullivan,
Principal Scientist at AIDSVu, leads a demonstration and discussion about mapping the HIV epidemic in the United States followed by a Q&A about how you can put AIDSVu to use in your work and research.
Dr. Sullivan has 17 years of experience in HIV epidemiology, prevention, and behavioral surveillance in the United States and in international settings. He worked in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for 12 years, including service as a Branch Chief and Acting Deputy Division Director in the Division of HIV AIDS Prevention.

He is currently the PI of NIH-supported research grants to explain black/white disparities in HIV among MSM, to develop improved methods for online HIV prevention studies, and to pilot a couples-focused HIV prevention intervention for MSM.
