Hello everyone,
My name is Kathrine Meyers. I am a social scientist working at the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, based in NY but with frequent travel to China where our HIV prevention projects are located. My work has been mostly in HIV prevention program implementation and policy advocacy. More recently I have been pulled into clinical trials of HIV prevention products, here in the US and in China. I am eager to learn all I can from this fantastic group of advocates and to become an articulate advocate for the need for GPP within clinical trials being planned in China on a general level and more specifically, how to engage community participation in a context that is hostile to civil society and stigmatizing of men who have sex with men. I look forward to our journey together!
Kathrine
