Amit Achhra

I have completed my internal medicine residency training at the NYP/Weill-Cornell, New York, and fellowship in Infectious diseases/HIV at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard University, Boston. Prior to that, I did a PhD at the Kirby Institute/University of New South Wales (Australia) in epidemiological studies in HIV/AIDS. Some of my notable work has focused on impact of BMI and weight gain from antiretroviral therapy on diabetes and cardiovascular outcomes; dual-drug therapies for HIV/AIDS; inflammatory markers and clinical outcomes in HIV; and implementation research on improving HIV treatment outcomes in Asia-Pacific, amongst others. Clinically, I'm interested in HIV primary care, cases of HIV with complex resistance history, STIs, COVID-19 therapeutics, and general infectious diseases.
