Since 2019 I work as Internship Coordinator in the Master’s Degree in Psychology of Social Intervention.  Department of social and organizational psychology, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia. Madrid, Spain. I am a member of the Ethics Committee of the UNED.

My lines of research are psychosocial problems associated with HIV infection, including stigma, social exclusion, health behaviors, psychological well-being and quality of life of people with HIV. In the methodological field I have experience in the design, validation and application of psychometric instruments.

I have carried out professional psychosocial intervention and management work in several non-profit organizations. I am currently executive director of the Spanish Interdisciplinary AIDS Society (SEISIDA).

Jose A. Muñoz-Moreno is a clinician and researcher at the Lluita contra les Infeccions Foundation, located in the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital, in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). He earned the Ph.D. degree in Neurosciences in 2012 (Cum Laude), and currently he is also a collaborating professor with the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB).

Muñoz-Moreno is involved in projects that address psychology and the human behaviour associated with HIV infection. In terms of study, he mostly investigates the neurocognitive features of HIV infection, the impact of HIV and antiretroviral treatments on quality of life and emotional status, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy.

Muñoz-Moreno’s recent work particularly focuses on assessment methods to detect HIV-related neurocognitive changes and the current profile of neurocognitive impairment in people living with HIV infection.
