Healthy Futures Lab

Mission

The mission of the Healthy Futures Lab at the University of South Carolina is to engage in innovative, community-engaged research to help people—particularly those from marginalized communities—to achieve optimal health and wellbeing. This lab is committed to engaging in anti-racist dialogue and actions; to advocating for equity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals; and to recognizing and honoring the humanity of individuals from all creeds, religions, and nations. A major focus of our work is to improve outcomes for those living with or affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—and we are strongly committed to ending stigma associated with HIV and HIV criminalization.
