Local physician: HIV/AIDS cure getting little publicity - Baldwin County NOW - A Gulf Coast Information Source for South Alabama

Local physician: HIV/AIDS cure getting little publicity - Baldwin County NOW - A Gulf Coast Information Source for South Alabama: "FOLEY, Ala. — A Foley physician said what appears to be the first case of HIV/AIDS cure in the world is getting little mention in the media.

Dr. Awadhesh K. Gupta, medical director at Foley Walk-In Med Care, said he first heard of the medical breakthrough in April when he attended the Annual Conference of the American College of Physicians in Internal Medicine in Philadelphia.

It’s a conference Gupta tries to attend every year.

“This is the most prestigious organization of physicians in Internal Medicine and is responsible for certifying post graduate training in Internal Medicine. It is also one of the oldest,” he said."
