Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Henry Delali Dakpui's research investigates the intersection of stigma, poverty, and HIV testing decisions, particularly among vulnerable populations in Ghana. His work focuses on the experiences of gay, bisexual, and other cis-gender men who have sex with men (GBMSM), and transgender women residing in urban slum communities. Dakpui examines how community and interpersonal stigma, alongside experiences of victimization, influence individuals' decisions regarding HIV testing and healthcare-seeking behaviors.

His recent publications detail qualitative descriptions of these experiences, including the challenges faced by trans women in disclosing their gender identity to healthcare providers and the motivations for HIV testing among GBMSM. Dakpui is also involved in developing and piloting intervention protocols aimed at reducing intersectional stigma and increasing uptake of HIV prevention and treatment services among young GBMSM in Ghanaian slums. His scholarship has resulted in 21 publications and a citation count of 111, with an h-index of 7. He collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Central Arkansas, including Gamji Rabiu Abu-Ba’are, Giovanni Zardini, Samira Shirzaei Nichols, and Carolina Rigo.
