Nanyangwe Siuluta’s Successful Dissertation Defense » Southern HIV and Alcohol Research Consortium

Congratulations to SHARC PhD student Nanyangwe Siuluta on successfully defending her dissertation!
Her dissertation, “Associations Between a History of Sexual Abuse and Cervical Cancer Prevention Utilization Among Women with HIV in the Southeastern United States,” addresses critical issues at the intersection of HIV, trauma, and cancer prevention. This important work contributes to a deeper understanding of factors that influence preventive healthcare utilization among women living with HIV.
We also celebrate Nanyangwe’s recent publication, “Sociodemographic Characteristics Associated with Lifetime and Recent Traumatic Experiences Among People Living with HIV in Florida,” further highlighting her commitment to advancing HIV research and improving health outcomes.
Congratulations, Dr. Siuluta, on this significant academic milestone, and thank you to her dissertation committee for their guidance and support throughout this journey!
