Sharon Relova first became interested in
HIV/AIDS while taking introductory science courses at UBC. Her
curiosity grew while taking an epidemiology and virology course
during her student exchange to the University of Queensland,
Australia, in 1999 and subsequently when working as a research
assistant in the Epidemiology and Public Health Unit at the
Queensland Institute of Medical Research.
After graduating from UBC with a BSc
in Cell Biology and Genetics in May 2000, Sharon contacted Dr. Bob
Hogg and began working with the Vanguard Project in June.
Sharon has written the first draft of
a paper based on the poster "Determinants of complementary
therapy use among young gay and bisexual men in Vancouver" (see
page 88).
Sharon has enjoyed her time learning
the value and importance of the HIV/AIDS research. She plans to
attend graduate school in the fall.
