This World AIDS Day we want to highlight the work of Dr. Kislovskiy, Dr. Miller, Dr. Chang, and their team members who led a qualitative and community based participatory study on HIV awareness and PrEP perceptions among individuals who exchange sex.
Dr. Miller's Pittsburgh Study offers an example of centering community members, their voices, and their experiences to improve child and adolescent thriving and racial equity.
Dr. Liz Miller's recent research shows that nonbinary and transmasculine adolescents are experiencing more non-affirming health care experiences than transfeminine adolescents. These negative and non-affirming experiences create health care and well visit avoidance. Healthcare systems need to address their disrespect and refusal of care as well as proactively train and educate their providers to support the transcommunity with competent and affirming care.
Dr. Liz Miller has been recognized for her research and her achievements by the Pennsylvania Governor's office, receiving the award for the 2022 Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania.
