Research Interests My primary research concerns HIV drug resistance, which includes the study of HIV drug resistance epidemiology, strategies to prevent and treat HIV drug resistance, and impact of HIV drug resistance on survival and quality of life; and concomitant therapy for HIV and opportunistic infections esp. tuberculosis and cryptococcosis. My secondary research focuses on HBV resistance in HIV-infected persons who had been treated with lamivudine-containing antiretroviral regimens.
