Dr. Danielle Travill

Danielle Travill is a public health researcher whose work centers on HIV and HPV prevention among adolescent girls and young women in Southern and Eastern Africa. Affiliated with leading academic and clinical research institutions in South Africa and collaborating across Kenya, her research supports evidence-based strategies for integrating prevention into primary and reproductive health services in high HIV burden settings.

Her publications highlight implementation science studies on oral PrEP delivery, persistence, and user experiences, including the POWER project and evaluations of decision-support tools to strengthen early adherence. She examines social determinants such as relationship power, family influence, and provider motivation, demonstrating how gender dynamics and health system factors shape prevention uptake and continuity.

Travill has also contributed to influential evaluations of HPV vaccination strategies, including single-dose impact studies and pragmatic population-level effectiveness designs in South Africa. Her work provides critical evidence on vaccine impact among adolescents, including those living with HIV, reinforcing vaccination and integrated prevention approaches as central pillars of cervical cancer and HIV control.
