Dr. Omobosola O. Akinsete

"I am an infectious disease doctor with a special interest in AIDS and HIV infections. Diagnosing infectious diseases requires skills similar to those of a detective. One has to figure out the important symptoms, put clues together and then come up with the best ""suspects,"" or pathogens. We also have to find an effective treatment regimen for the patient. In my training in different parts of the world, I have always enjoyed learning about microbiology and infections. These interests have made the specialty of infectious disease a natural choice for me The HIV /AID pandemic started during my medical training and has continued to increase worldwide, especially in Africa and in minority communities here in the U.S. The ignorance and misconception about the disease has caused there to be a lot of stigma among the general population regarding HIV/AIDS, giving me great concern. This compelled me to be part of the HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment network. I like working with people from different parts of the world and I always strive to resolve or minimize the impact of their infections. I also provide culturally sensitive care to diverse communities, including LGBTQ individuals, refugees and immigrants.".
