Julia Rozanova, PhD (she/her/hers)

Associate Research Scientist
Yale University
New Haven, Connecticut, United States

Julia Rozanova is an Associate Research Scientist at the AIDS Program of the Yale School of Medicine. She received her PhD in Sociology (Alberta) and subsequently trained in Social Gerontology (Brown) and Implementation Science (Yale). Since 2018, she has had the privilege of leading a research program on HIV prevention and treatment among vulnerable populations in prison and community contexts in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. With colleagues from the AIDS Foundation East West Kyrgyzstan Dr Rozanova has conducted a clinical trial of a bespoke peer-driven intervention to improve the mental health and reduce HIV risk among prisoners with a history of injection drug use in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. With colleagues from the European Institute on Public Health Policy, Dr Rozanova has examined the intersection of HIV, addiction, and aging in Ukraine. During the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequently during the war, Dr Rozanova has led clinical trials of interventions to bring older people with HIV into care using peer navigation strategy and provide them with an evidence-based decision aid to inform HIV status disclosure. Over the last year, Dr Rozanova’s research has increasingly focused on how both service users and healthcare workers cope during the humanitarian crisis and factors underlying their resilience. Dr Rozanova’s work has been supported by grants from the American Medical Foundation, Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS, MacMillan Center for International Studies, and Fund for Lesbian and Gay Studies at Yale University; the National Institute on Drug Abuse (K01DA047194), the National Institute on Aging (R21AG072961 and R21AG072961-02S1), and the National Institute of Mental Health (R34MH130260).
