The late Dr. Rober C. Scott, M.D.
A leading advocate for HIV/AIDS treatment and research, Scott led best practices in urban HIV prevention and treatment and was frequently asked to address practitioners and medical professionals throughout the United States and abroad. He pioneered innovative treatment of the HIV/AIDS virus when the disease catapulted within the United States in the early 1980s.
Scott founded AIDS Project of the East Bay in Oakland, CA (est. in 1983), a community based organization dedicated to preventing the spread of HIV and supporting individuals infected with the virus through programs targeted at some of the most vulnerable and marginalized individuals in Alameda County. APEB ensures that individuals and communities beyond the reach of other agencies receive professional services of the highest standard.
