Wenting Huang is a Research Fellow in the Department of Epidemiology at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. Her research focuses on infectious disease prevention, sexual and reproductive health, and implementation science, particularly among sexual minority men in China. She currently works under Dr. Aaron Siegler on longitudinal qualitative studies in the iKnow and MIC DROP projects.
Dr. Huang holds a Bachelor of Medicine from Wuhan University, a Master of Science in Global Health from Duke Kunshan University, and a PhD in Behavioral, Social, and Health Education Sciences from Emory University. Her professional background includes roles as a research associate and program coordinator at the UNC Project-China, where she contributed to interventions promoting sexual health.
Her research integrates behavioral science with public health policy, addressing topics like HIV prevention, PrEP access, and community-based interventions. Recent work explores digital health innovations, supernatural beliefs influencing healthcare, and structural barriers to HIV testing.
Key themes across her publications include: 1) technology-driven HIV prevention strategies for MSM populations; 2) psychometric tools to measure community solidarity in health interventions; and 3) the role of social media influencers in distributing self-testing kits.
Notably, her studies have analyzed HIV incidence patterns, vaccine attitudes in Black Southern US communities, and the impact of pay-it-forward testing programs. These projects emphasize scalable, community-engaged solutions to public health challenges.
She actively participates in the BSHES Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) committee's mentorship working group, contributing to institutional efforts to improve inclusivity in academic and clinical environments.
