December 1st was 🌍 — a global observance created to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, promote testing and prevention, and honor those affected by the disease. Since the HIV epidemic began in the early 1980s, medical advancements have transformed HIV from a fatal diagnosis into a manageable chronic condition with proper treatment.💊

Today, over 39 million people worldwide are living with HIV, and modern antiretroviral therapy allows many patients to live long, healthy lives with an undetectable viral load — meaning they cannot transmit the virus to others. Here in Atlanta, which remains a key focus area for HIV prevention and care in the Southeast, access to routine testing and consistent medical follow-up continues to play a critical role in protecting our community.🤝

At Alpharetta & Cu***ng Internal Medicine, our team proudly offers confidential HIV testing and ongoing care to support your health at every stage. ❤️

🧠 Know the Early Signs
November is Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month — a reminder that recognizing symptoms early can make a meaningful difference in care, planning, and quality of life.

Evidence-based early warning signs:
• 📉Memory loss that disrupts daily life — especially forgetting recent information, appointments, or asking the same questions repeatedly.
• 📝Difficulty planning or problem-solving — trouble following familiar recipes, managing bills, or keeping track of monthly tasks.
• 🔄Challenges completing familiar tasks — such as using the microwave, navigating a usual route, or managing medication routines.
• 🕒Confusion with time or place — losing track of dates, seasons, or how they arrived somewhere.
• 👁️Trouble understanding spatial relationships — difficulties judging distance, reading, or depth perception.
• 💬New problems with words — struggling with vocabulary, stopping mid-conversation, or calling objects by the wrong name.
• 🔍Misplacing items and inability to retrace steps — putting things in unusual places (keys in the fridge, clothes in the oven).
• ⚖️Changes in judgment or decision-making — especially around finances, grooming, or safety.
• 👥Withdrawal from social activities — pulling back from work projects, hobbies, or conversations they once enjoyed.
• 🌧️Shifts in mood or personality — increased anxiety, suspicion, irritability, or uncharacteristic changes in behavior.

If you or a loved one are noticing these signs, our internal medicine team is here to help with evaluation, guidance, and next steps. 💛 Early conversations matter.

No frills - just the data. 🩺
As we age, the immune system weakens, making the flu more likely to lead to pneumonia and hospitalization.

Getting the flu shot helps your body respond faster and reduces the risk of spreading the flu to older loved ones - especially as we gather for the holidays. 🦃🎄

💻 Request a flu shot through the 'Contact Us' form at the bottom of our homepage (link below) or call 📞(770) 475-2377.

💜 We recognize that abuse can take many forms — physical, emotional, or psychological — and its effects reach far beyond the surface. As internists, we often see the unseen: stress-related illness, chronic pain, sleep problems, and anxiety that can stem from unsafe environments.

✋ This month, we’re also sharing the — a discreet hand gesture anyone can use during a video call or in person to silently indicate they need help.
👉 How it works:
1️⃣ Hold up your hand with your thumb tucked into your palm
2️⃣ Fold your fingers down over your thumb

If you see this signal, it’s a call for help — please reach out safely or contact local authorities.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence:
💬 You are not alone
💜 You deserve safety
📞 Help is available 24/7 at the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)

We encourage open, judgment-free conversations during visits. Our goal is to support your total well-being — body and mind. 💙

We’re not here to yuck your cabernet. 🍷😉 Just sharing the science:

• ~1 drink/day → ~7–10% higher breast cancer risk
• 2–3 drinks/day → ~20% higher risk

What counts as “one” drink? 🍸 (= ~14g alcohol)
• 🍺 12 oz beer (~5% ABV)
• 🍷 5 oz wine (~12% ABV)
• 🥃 1.5 oz liquor (~40% ABV)
Heads up: many cocktails = 2+ standard drinks.


Found a lump? Don’t wait. We can evaluate at Alpharetta & Cu***ng Internal Medicine. To schedule an appointment with one of our Board-Certified internists, please call (770) 475-2377 or conveniently request an appointment via our ‘Contact Us’ form at the bottom of our homepage.
