OverviewAI-generated summary

Giovanni Zardini's research focuses on understanding and addressing HIV/STI prevention and awareness among vulnerable populations, particularly male sex workers who are refugees from Sub-Saharan Africa living in Italy. His work utilizes mixed-methods approaches, combining quantitative epidemiological studies with qualitative insights to explore intersecting structural vulnerabilities and health risks. Recent publications investigate PrEP awareness, willingness for HIV self-testing, and the burden of HIV and STIs within this demographic. Zardini also examines factors associated with awareness of oral HIV self-testing and the relationship between substance use and HIV testing willingness in this population. His research network includes collaborators from the University of Central Arkansas, such as Henry Delali Dakpui, Samira Shirzaei Nichols, Carolina Rigo, and Kelvin Aleakwe, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
