Overview

Dr. Weir's research focuses on HIV prevention, research design, and economic evaluation. His current HIV-related research includes linkage to care for people who inject drugs in Baltimore, effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among male sex workers in Thailand, and the cost-effectiveness of integrated prevention and care for HIV and non-communicable diseases. An additional area of interest is using emergency medical services (EMS) data to describe the epidemiology of drug overdose, violent trauma, asthma, and other acute and chronic health conditions in Baltimore.
