About Us

Weill Cornell Medicine's infectious disease physicians are at the forefront of treatment, research, and support for those with HIV infection, AIDS, and other infectious diseases. Weill Cornell Medicine’s Center for Special Studies, a New York State Designated AIDS Center, calls upon the expertise of our top infectious disease specialists in New York to provide a full range of health services to people with HIV and AIDS, as well as their children.

These services include:

  • HIV-specialized primary care, offered by our New York City-based HIV doctors,who are leading specialists in the treatment of HIV and AIDS. Treatment also includes gynecology, dermatology, psychiatry, social work, home care planning, nutritional counseling, and chaplaincy services.
  • Two ambulatory clinics, one located at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Centers at 68th Street, which is co-located with the Pediatric Center for Special Studies, and an off-site ambulatory site in Chelsea, co-located with the Gay Men's Health Crisis.
  • On-site access to current studies and trials. Currently, areas of clinical investigation include: antiretroviral therapy, immune-based therapies, viral co-infections in HIV, as well as treatment and prevention of HIV-related illnesses and their complications. Patient referrals are welcome and are appreciated.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Pearl Yuan-Garg

Dr. Han is the consummate professional. He is deeply knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate. He is also inquisitive as a medical science researcher. We brought our young daughter to him for a second-opinion consultation, after experiencing multiple blunders at another major NYC hospital before, during and after her hospitalization there to treat an acute septic case resulting from sacroiliac joint & sacral bone infections-any of those blunders could have life-and-death implications in her case. We felt a huge relief after seeing Dr. Han who now heads up a thorough investigation of her case. As parents we finally see hope and a path forward to help our child overcome her first major challenge in life.

Talking about Karen P. Acker, M.D.

Went to Dr. Acker for a chronic issue that no one has been able to help with for 3 years and we finally found someone who had help to offer. She is also lovely and patient and warm. Couldn’t recommend her enough.
