Thank you so much for the responses.
Uhm..okay. I will be in Philly (as in Philadelphia from May 30 until June 1) then in France June 1 through June 5, then in South Africa from June 5 until August 22. My son will be there from July 12 until August 10 (he and my mom).
I will be conducting some preliminary data analysis on survey data that was collected from adolescents in terms behavioral risks for HIV.
Upon my return, I will most likely try and get a few papers published from the data and present at some of the professional conferences.
I am interested in HIV prevention at the international level, hence the reason I am going to SA. Domestically, however, I am interested in HIV infected populations and access to and utilization of available health services, treatment and other medical care. Specifically minority (REALLY Afrcian American) women and the way that competing needs (REALLY caregiving responsibilities) impact use of services and treatment adherence and gender disparities with regard to use of services for those infected with HIV.
SO...all that to say, perhaps I will do some comparative studies between SA and the USA. Also, between Uganda and USA. HIV is really crackin' in Uganda but SA is the HOT SPOT!
We'll see.
Sorry, didn't mean to run down my whole dissertation topic but it helps me to get it all straight in my brain when I have to write it out.
Hopefully I will, no I WILL be getting my shop on in France though...beleedat!
