The mission of Meharry Community Wellness Center is to promote HIV/AIDS awareness, education, and transdisciplinary collaboration. Our primary goal is to eliminate HIV health disparities in Middle Tennessee by expanding access to comprehensive HIV treatment along the care continuum. The Center has been a top-ranked AIDS Center of Excellence in Tennessee for the past ten years. My primary research interests focus on HIV/HCV co-infection, oral biomarkers, and health disparities. I had published the largest retrospective observational study of health outcomes in underserved minorities living with HIV and HCV. Our team of collaborators is studying the role of oral inflammatory biomarkers in monitoring HIV disease progression among patients with sustained viral suppression. We have shown that discrimination and chronic stress have a profound impact on treatment adherence and viral suppression among MSM and that Black MSM have significantly high cortisol level as measured by hair sampling and lower rate of viral suppression of 61% compared to all other categories. Our team of collaborators on the Disseminated Evidence-Informed Intervention project has established a national model for linkage and engagement of women of color. I serve on the TN-CFAR as the Co-Associate Director of the Clinical Science Core at Meharry Medical College.
