I\u2019m very interested in understanding the structural and behavioral factors that influence the spread of HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM) \u2013 especially young MSM of color in the Southeastern US. My research in this area is split between studying HIV testing and prevention behaviors and the scale-up of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) across North Carolina. My previous work has involved sexual network investigations and the application of spatial epidemiological methods to questions about the dynamics of HIV transmission in North Carolina, as well as trying to understand in detail how young, Black MSM might utilize HIV self-testing options to increase their frequency of testing. In addition to my public health-oriented HIV research, I am interested in the epidemiology and clinical management of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. I direct the UNC ID Clinic\u2019s HCV treatment program, helping our providers manage patients with HCV monoinfection and HIV\/HCV coinfection. I also help oversee HIV- and HCV-related clinical trials with our clinical trials unit. I also direct the North Carolina HIV Training & Education Center (NCHTEC), a federally-funded program that supports the training and technical assistance needs of providers engaged in HIV prevention and treatment across the state. The Center\u2019s mission encompasses all aspects of HIV service delivery, from learning about the basics of the epidemic to intersectional issues that influence the ability of people to access high-quality care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2666,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[158,136,131,129,143,133,142,157],"class_list":["post-5450","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-all-faculty-profiles","ud_division-division-leadership","ud_division-division-of-infectious-diseases","ud_division-faculty","ud_division-fellowship-faculty-hiv-sti-epidemiology-and-prevention","ud_division-hiv-sti-epidemiology-and-prevention","ud_division-id-fellowship-faculty","ud_division-our-faculty-syndication","odd"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nChristopher Hurt, MD, FIDSA | Division of Infectious Diseases<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/infdis\/people\/christopher-hurt-md\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Christopher Hurt, MD, FIDSA | Division of Infectious Diseases\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I\u2019m very interested in understanding the structural and behavioral factors that influence the spread of HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM) \u2013 especially young MSM of color in the Southeastern US.
