Steven A John

Steven A John serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota, with research spanning HIV prevention, rural health disparities, and global women's health. His work directly addresses UN Sustainable Development Goals through community-focused interventions and epidemiological studies.

Primary research domains include:

• HIV prevention strategies and PrEP accessibility for sexual minorities
• Health outcomes optimization for rural older adults living with HIV
• Cervical cancer screening implementation in resource-limited settings
• Rural healthcare delivery systems and telemedicine applications

Recent publications demonstrate methodological diversity across scoping reviews, community-based cross-sectional studies, and clinical intervention trials. His 2024-2025 work shows concentrated focus on United States rural populations (particularly sexual minorities) and Ugandan community health settings, with strong emphasis on health equity and access barriers. Key journals include Journal of Rural Health, AIDS and Behavior, and BMC Women's Health.

Current NIH-funded projects highlight translational impact:

• Testing Efficacy of Interventions for Rural Older Adults with HIV (2025-2027): Developing remote care models to improve quality of life
• Optimizing HIV/Syphilis Screening in Youth (2025): Community-level intervention at Medical College of Wisconsin

His scholarly network emphasizes cross-institutional collaboration (University of Minnesota, Medical College of Wisconsin, Ugandan institutions) and interdisciplinary teams spanning public health, geriatrics, and infectious disease specialties.
