Claudia Moreno

Claudia Moreno, Ph.D., recalls her reaction when she was asked to help research HIV-positive Latinas more than 15 years ago.

Moreno, an associate professor in the Graduate School of Social Service, shifted her focus to how HIV affects Latinas. Today, she is working to develop the first prevention intervention program specifically for Latinas.

Moreno is testing mainly Puerto Rican, Mexican and Dominican women between the ages of 18 and 29 in the New York/New Jersey area. She has recruited women who work or shop at neighborhood beauty salons and bodegas.
