Research Interests

HIV medicine is one of the most dynamic and advancing fields where development of many highly potent antiretroviral medications improved outcomes dramatically. Nevertheless, HIV epidemic remains a challenge even in such resourceful countries as the United States especially in the presence of comorbid psychiatric conditions and substance use. As the Infectious Diseases fellow I have participated in implementing routine depression screening for all HIV infected persons attending the university clinic. The screening results demonstrated that depressive symptoms are quite prevalent among HIV infected individuals and require more attention as they negatively affect clinical outcomes. My current research projects are focused on evaluating HIV clinical outcomes in persons with comorbid psychiatric conditions and substance abuse using large administrative databases.
