Current Research

Dr. Calabrese's research focuses on sexual health promotion among Black men who have sex with men (MSM) and other socially marginalized groups. A key component of this work is identifying and addressing barriers to HIV prevention, including inequities in access to new and forthcoming biomedical prevention resources (e.g., pre-exposure prophylaxis; PrEP). More broadly, Dr. Calabrese is interested in sexual stereotypes and discrimination in the context of health.
