Associate Profile Waimar Tun is an associate with the Horizons program at the Population Council. She is responsible for providing technical assistance and directly managing the implementation of operations research activities on HIV and AIDS in Africa, South America, and Asia. Her research focuses on HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among at-risk populations, including men who have sex with men, sex workers, injection drug users, and mobile populations. To meet these aims, she utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, integrating behavioral research with epidemiology.

From 2002 to 2004 she served in the US Public Health Service at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as an epidemic intelligence service officer, where she was involved in health services research related to STIs and in investigations of outbreaks (West Nile virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome).
