Research

Dr. Fuller has written and lectured widely on the topic of HIV primary care. In addition to his background in medicine/AIDS, Dr. Fuller also has training in theology and, as an ordained Catholic priest (in the Jesuit order), has been interested in examining the relationship between Catholic moral theology and the HIV epidemic, especially with regard to prevention. He has explored the ethics of condoms and needle exchange, and (with others) has suggested that traditional Catholic moral principles such as “double effect” and “remote material cooperation with evil” can justify these interventions.
