Charles is the Executive Director of Preventive Care International, an NGO he founded after his Fellow’s project, and still works on various PrEP efforts at his host organization, the Infectious Diseases Institute. At the time of his project, he had been associated with HIV clinical trials for more than seven years. He worked on the HSV2\/HIV study, Partners PrEP study and the Partners Demonstration Project. His focus was on HIV counselling and testing and adherence support and community education for serodiscordant couples and key populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellowship Focus<\/strong>
Charles advocated for the rollout of PrEP with high-risk groups. He worked with Uganda\u2019s AIDS Commission to include PrEP in its National Strategic Plan and laid the groundwork for the development of guidelines for PrEP rollout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Their Own Words<\/strong>
I\u2019m happy that it\u2019s no longer \u201cCharles Brown for PrEP\u201d, but it\u2019s now civil society for PrEP, where I\u2019m part of the civil society.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
