Cage Hall, MD, PhD

Dr. Hall's current research interests include social and psychological processes of sexual identity development, particularly as they relate to addiction and HIV prevention, mostly though not only among men who have sex with men (MSM). Geographically, he conducts research in Los Angeles, California, and Prague, Czech Republic, and in both Czech and Anglophone portions of the internet. He has been staff physician on several studies looking at possible treatments for methamphetamine addiction, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention, and other studies of HIV risk factors.
