Prof. Eduard Sanders
Email : ESanders@kemri-wellcome.org Eduard Sanders is an Associate Professor of Tropical Medicine and Global Health at the University of Oxford, and is based in Kilifi, Kenya. He is the principal investigator of several observational studies involving mostly men who have sex with men (MSM) and female sex workers (FSW) in Kilifi, and co-recipient of the SANTHE grant. His interest in diagnosing acute HIV infections was inspired by the many MSM who sought health care prior to seroconversion in coastal Kenya, and the opportunity this presents for reducing onward HIV-1 transmission. He currently leads ongoing studies on the utility of clinical algorithms to identify and diagnose young adults with acute HIV infection at various health facilities in Kenya, enabling early treatment, counselling interventions, and assisted partner notification.
Azraa Mahmoud is a medical doctor, currently pursuing her Masters in Public Health (Epidemiology and Biostatistics) in Pwani University, Kilifi Kenya. She is currently working with intravenous drug users on methadone – a recently endorsed programme to help prevent HIV and curb its spread as well as manage drug abuse. She hopes to assess the risk factors and contexts for concomitant drug use among the PWIDs on methadone.
