Dr. Barbee has been working in STD/HIV prevention throughout her adult life – beginning as a health educator as an undergraduate at Northwestern University, and then in the Peace Corps in Nicaragua. During medical school she designed a program for home testing of STIs via vaginal self-sampling among Haitian American women living in Miami, FL. Currently as an Infectious Diseases Fellow, she remains interested in novel screening techniques, such as self-sampling, that have potential to increase access to care for HIV/STD screening and treatment. She is also currently exploring resistance in gonorrhea.
