      J. Bryan Page is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Miami. He has secondary appointments in the Departments of Psychiatry and Sociology at that institution.

The perspectives gained from this kind of research have made possible the designing of laboratory experiments to establish the parameters of decontamination for injection paraphernalia and the implementation of interventions for preventing the spread of HIV infection among injecting drug users.
