Investigating Syndemic and Trauma Related Influences on HIV/AIDS Etiology

OUR MISSION

The mission of the iSTRIVE Research Lab is to conduct high-caliber research to investigate the combined epidemics—known as “syndemics”—of gender-based violence, adverse mental health, substance abuse, and HIV acquisition/transmission with the goal of 1) advancing our understanding of the underlying immunological and physiological mechanisms linking these epidemics, 2) examining the psychological, social, sexual, and reproductive health outcomes due to syndemics, and 3) developing and implementing interventions that provide maximal reductions in these syndemics while reducing disparities in prevention, care, and treatment.

OUR VISION

The iSTRIVE Research Lab will improve the health and social conditions of marginalized populations and underserved communities through rigorous research study designs, scalable interventions, policy recommendations, and dissemination of scientific findings.
