Lab Website
Hoffmann Lab
- The Hoffmann Lab is focused on reducing TB and HIV morbidity and mortality in the low and middle income settings through behavioral and implementation science approaches. Work has focused on understanding individual-level behavior towards linkage to care and continued care engagement for HIV and TB and using this knowledge to develop approaches to increase HIV testing, linkage to care, HIV viral load suppression, and retention in care. Other work has focused on health system strategies to improve service delivery and improve adherence to best practice to guidelines-based care. The group's research includes work on the general population, corrections inmates and ex-inmates, men at risk for HIV, and recently hospitalized individuals. Most of the research has been in South Africa and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa.

I am really pleased with Dr. Hoffmann! Not only is he a great doctor, but he also genuinely cares about my health and well-being. I actually missed my appointment this time. And instead of allowing six months to go by for my next visit, he made it so that I could see him within a week.

Dr. Hoffmann has been my ID doc for over 10 years now, and there's no one else I'd rather see. He spends the time to answer my questions, get to know me, and offer follow up advice and appointments. Top notch doc
