== Brief History ==
Holcomb is a recovering addict who began his career in HIV prevention in November 2007. The Project Weber outreach team he leads provides condom distribution, needle exchange, substance abuse referrals and HIV testing.〔http://www.aidscareos.org/ProgramsServices/PreventionCenter/StreetOutreach.aspx〕 He cited the lack of data available on male commercial sex workers in the region as his reason for helping develop a 2010 survey to assess the needs of this population. Project Weber recruited and surveyed 50 male sex workers living on the streets of Providence. Holcomb also cited that the fact that he and members of his team are former sex workers themselves as one of the primary reasons why they were able to gain access to the men in order to conduct this survey.
The project says they have gleaned valuable data on male sex workers who work and live on the streets of Providence. Holcomb and his team were the first to gather data on this population in Rhode Island history. Prostitution in Rhode Island was legal until 2009.〔http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120359052〕 His work has generated interest from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and has received national attention.
