A story in the Star Tribune featured CSE professor Joseph Konstan’s cutting-edge work with B. R. Simon Rosser, a professor in the School of Public Health, on a new Web-based software program to help fight the spread of HIV.

The research team has worked for more than five years to create a computer program that assess risks undertaken by men seeking sex with other men through online venues. Their work has become a multi-phased, interdisciplinary project, called the Men's Internet Study (MINTS). Konstan and Rosser hope their work will show that the new Web-based program is effective in the prevention of risk-related behavior leading to sexually transmitted infections.
