Research Interests:

Dr. Dodge's research and training have focused on various social and behavioral aspects of sexual health in relation to HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections (STI), and other facets of overall well-being. His current research agenda focuses broadly on men's sexual health, including male bisexuality and its potential relationships to risk, innovative methods of STI testing, and the ongoing role of male condoms in sexual health promotion.
