Biography

Dr. Stephen Moses is a physician scientist with over 35 years of experience in global health research, primarily focusing on sexually transmitted infections (STI) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). He has significantly contributed to understanding the biological and behavioral risk factors associated with STI/HIV transmission, leading to practical interventions. Dr. Moses is recognized as a leader in HIV prevention innovations, enhancing the management and control of STIs, and has implemented peer-mediated educational interventions for high-risk populations while advocating for male circumcision as a method to reduce HIV susceptibility in men. His research has had a global impact, notably as the co-principal investigator of a landmark randomized controlled trial on male circumcision for HIV prevention in Kenya, which facilitated the scale-up of male circumcision programs across 14 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa. He has spent a decade in Kenya and six years in India, where he directed the University of Manitoba’s HIV/AIDS reproductive health programs under the Avahan initiative of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Dr. Moses continues to engage in research and program development in India and Kenya. He has published 260 peer-reviewed papers and has been recognized with multiple awards for his scholarly activities.
