In her role at ETR, she leads our HIV Content Area, driving our overall agency strategy to address the development of ETRs HIV products and scientific services.

Dr Udoh is a medical anthropologist, who has used her deep qualitative expertise in designing HIV/AIDS prevention and care interventions for men who have sex with men, young women, and people living with HIV/AIDS in domestic settings, as well in countries supported through PEPFAR. She currently leads 2 multi-state regional evaluation efforts:Ā  the COMPASS Initiativeā„¢, a large scale multi partner collaboration whose goal is to address the HIV/AIDS disparities in the 16 states of the US southern region; and the HepConnect Initiative, which expands hepatitis C and harm reduction services in 5 states of the Appalachian region. She was a Co-Investigator/Project Director for the CRUSH Project (Connecting Resources for Urban Sexual Health), a multi-year demonstration study to evaluate the expansion of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis for the prevention of HIV infection) for Y/MSM, which showed strong efficacy data for Y/MSM adherence to PrEP.
