Matthew M. Law is an Infectious Disease Specialist based at High Street, Kensington, NSW 2052. He helps people with infections and other related health problems, especially when things are not straightforward.
In many cases, patients come in with concerns about viruses and long-lasting infections. This can include conditions like hepatitis (including hepatitis A, B and C), HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis-related liver problems such as cirrhosis and liver failure. He also looks after people who have issues linked to sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, trichomoniasis, and other infections such as pelvic inflammatory disease and lymphogranuloma venereum.
Matthew also sees patients with skin and genital conditions connected to infections. That can include genital warts, warts more generally, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Over time, some people need careful follow-up as symptoms change, or if treatment needs adjusting.
Infections do not always stay “local”. At times, he helps with more serious illnesses such as pneumonia and sepsis. He also supports patients dealing with infections in the lungs like Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. Because infections can affect the whole body, he works with complex medical situations, including conditions like chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and can be involved when people have complicated health histories.
Matthew’s clinical work also overlaps with other health conditions that can come up alongside infection, including Kaposi sarcoma and leptospirosis. If someone has had a recent health scare such as a stroke or a heart attack, and infection is part of the story, he can help sort out what is going on and what needs attention first. The goal is clear, practical care that fits the person’s situation.
