I hold a PhD in Sociology from City, University of London where I specialised in health and HIV/AIDS. My PhD was on the vulnerability and risk to HIV infection in Uganda.
I examined the influence of social factors on vulnerability and risk of HIV infection in Uganda. Specifically, the research examined the influence of socio-economic status, sexual and gender-based violence, and connected social and structural factors.
