OverviewAI-generated summary
Carolina Rigo's research focuses on public health issues, particularly concerning HIV risk and prevention among vulnerable populations. Her work has investigated the syndemic context of substance use and HIV risk among African refugee sex workers in Italy, exploring how substance use is linked to different patterns of HIV testing willingness. Rigo has also examined awareness and willingness to use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among refugee male sex workers from Sub-Saharan Africa in Italy, employing a machine learning-enhanced mixed-methods approach. Her publications address the intersection of substance use, HIV risk, and the experiences of migrant and refugee populations, informed by syndemic theory. Rigo's scholarship also includes work on collective ethnography related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
