Jeb Jones

I (PhD, MPH, MS) am an associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Emory University. My research focuses on HIV prevention among sexual and gender minority populations in the United States with a specific focus on internet-based approaches to delivering HIV prevention interventions. I have published multiple studies describing disparities in access to HIV prevention services among rural sexual and gender minority individuals in the United States, and I am currently leading a randomized controlled trial of a HIV prevention app to increase uptake of HIV testing, STI testing, and PrEP among rural gay and bisexual men. Another focus of my research is understanding correlates of PrEP uptake and preferences for different modalities of PrEP (e.g., daily oral, on-demand, injection). I also study methods for measuring PrEP adherence and predictors of suboptimal PrEP adherence. I am interested in the role that stigma plays in reducing access to HIV prevention services and co-direct the Development Core of the Center for HIV and Mental Health Stigma Elimination Strategies. I place an emphasis on mentoring and actively mentor multiple MPH and doctoral students in the Department of Epidemiology, and I co-teach Epidemiology Methods II each spring semester.
