Research Summary
Dr. Eshleman's research program includes basic, translational, and clinical research. Her basic research program is focused on HIV diversity and its impact on HIV transmission, disease progression, and treatment outcomes. Her translational research program is focused on development and evaluation of assays and laboratory methods for HIV analysis. Dr. Eshleman directs two CAP-accredited laboratories at JHU: the HIV Genotyping Laboratory and the HIV Clinical Research Laboratory. Her clinical research program is focused on HIV prevention. She is also the Director of the HPTN Laboratory Center, one of three leadership groups of the NIH-sponsored HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN). This network performs cohort studies and clinical trials evaluating behavioral, biomedical, and structural interventions for HIV prevention in the US, Africa, South America, Asia, and Eastern Europe.

Patient Ratings & Comments
The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
