THESIS RESEARCH
Project Title: Human papillomavirus transmission dynamics and natural immunity in the Transmission Reduction and Prevention with HPV Vaccination (TRAP-HPV) study (supervisor: Dr. Eduardo Franco).
Brief Description: My thesis will assess the efficacy of vaccination (even post-infection) of one or both partners for preventing HPV autoinfection and transmission within heterosexual couples. It will also look at pre-vaccination anti-HPV serum antibody levels to see if natural immunity influences response to the vaccine.
