Leaders in the Fight Against AIDS/HIV

We have been in the forefront of the fight against HIV/AIDS. With the creation of the Institute for Advanced Medicine (IAM), we offer six HIV primary care centers, treating and caring for more than 10,000 people who have been infected throughout the New York metropolitan area.  The IAM combines physicians and staff from multiple disciplines into one integrated program that provides accessible, affordable, and expert primary and specialty care to HIV patients, as well as their friends and families.

Specialty services include mental health, case management, social services, and coordinated clinical care in areas such as cardiology, dermatology, and nephrology. This large and coordinated mission enables the IAM to serve as a leader in treatment, prevention, and education in addition to providing researchers with tremendous opportunities for drug discovery, and will offer patients unique access to clinical trials and our researchers are leadings in HIV/AIDS.
