We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Dr David Katzenstein, a leader in HIV research beginning in the very days of the HIV pandemic and valued scientific and educational contributor to the IAS-USA efforts.
It is with deep sadness that we learned of the death of Dr James G. Hakim. An acclaimed researcher and professor, Dr Hakim was a profoundly important leader in the fight against HIV and AIDS in Africa.
We grieve with countless others the loss of Dr John G. Bartlett, who passed away on Jan. 19, at 83 years old. A terrible loss of a giant from the start of the HIV epidemic and a wonderful leader…just one of many lately. Too many. Bio: https://bit.ly/3c0Ng91
