His specific research interests focus on the behavioral and neuropsychiatric aspects of HIV disease, including the role of psychiatric symptoms and psychological factors in transmission risk and adherence behaviors. Dr. Bradley teaches the first and second-year NYU residency courses in Consultation Psychiatry, and continues to serve as the outpatient supervisor for the Psychosomatic Medicine fellows’ rotation in the VA’s Primary Care-Mental Health program. He serves on the Mental Health Guideline Committee of the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute Clinical Guidelines program.
