His primary research interests include the impact of family relationships on the health outcomes of sexual minority men of color across the life span, substance use, and HIV risk. He is currently the principal investigator of “Entre Herman@s,” an NIH-funded, randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of engaging the siblings of Latinx men who have sex with men in the development and dissemination of HIV PrEP-promotion messages. He is also the recipient of a K01 career development award to explore strategies for engaging the families of Latinx MSM in HIV prevention efforts.
