Research
We conduct transformational, community-centered research that improves healthcare equity and access—all while expanding the medical understanding of LGBTQ+ health and wellness.
Giving Our Community a Seat at the Table Since 1990
For more than 30 years, our Research Program has led studies that have: helped develop life-saving HIV medications; demonstrated the efficacy of PrEP and PEP to prevent HIV transmissions; develop innovative interventions to to reduce HIV and STI rates; and so much more. Our Program has always prioritized queer, trans, and BIPOC communities—bringing much-needed perspective to scientific research that, in turn, increases the equity of care for our people.
