Hanna H. Haptu MD

Dr. Haptu completed her medical training at Creighton University School of Medicine and Boston University Center for Infectious Disease, and her residency at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Boston.

She has experienced a significant transformation in the diagnosis and treatment HIV/AIDS since she first began to practice medicine. “When I began to work in the field, HIV was a death sentence. As a doctor it was my job to make them comfortable as they prepared to die. Now with new treatments, HIV is a manageable chronic disease. It is a very serious disease, yes, but now my patients have hope.”
