Dr. Kristopher Jackson, PhD, MPH, MSN, AGACNP-BC, FAANP joined the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth College of Nursing & Health Sciences following his postdoctoral training at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Center for AIDS Prevention Studies. With over a decade of experience as an acute care nurse practitioner, Dr. Jackson also leads a growing research program focused on HIV prevention, sexual health, and the provision of healthcare services to sexual and gender minority communities. His current projects examine the healthcare needs of marginalized LGBTQIA+ groups, including sex workers, and explores how societal expectations of masculinity, sexual behavior stigma, and other individual factors influence the adoption of HIV prevention methods (such as PrEP) and the use of substances in the context of commercial sexual encounters.
