This course delves into the interplay between intimacy, sexual health, stigma, syndemics, STIs, and vulnerable populations, with a special emphasis on LGBTQ communities in the United States. Syndemics, the co-occurrence of multiple health problems, interact synergistically within specific social contexts, magnifying their impact. Through a comprehensive exploration of epidemiological principles, research methods, and case studies, students will gain a deep understanding of the challenges faced by communities in optimizing their sexual health. This is a Gordis Teaching Fellowship course. Priority registration is given to Public Health Studies majors. Other students will be permitted to register as space allows.
