Natalie Wilson

Natalie Wilson is a nurse practitioner with over three decades of experience in healthcare, specializing in infectious disease. Her primary focus is HIV prevention and treatment, along with hepatitis C and sexually transmitted infections. She earned her DNP from UAB in 2011 and her PhD from UAB in 2016, followed by a postdoc at UCSF, where she also served as an associate professor until the end of 2025. Wilson then relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, to launch an HIV infectious disease program at an integrated health center. Her research has contributed to the development of symptom cluster research in HIV, exploring connections to gut health and microbial translocation, and she has worked to lower new HIV infections in regions including the San Francisco East Bay and Brooklyn through community provider collaboration and improved testing and prevention pipelines. She maintains memberships in ANCC, the American Nurses Association, the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care, and holds specialist certification with the American Academy of HIV Medicine. Wilson credits advice to love what you do and to pursue ending the HIV epidemic broadly as key influences in her career.
