HIVMA Chair Honors the Contributions of Dr. John G. Bartlett to HIV Care, Research and Policy

“HIVMA honors the life and legacy of Dr. John G. Bartlett, a visionary leader in infectious diseases, a role model who devoted his life to advancing HIV clinical care, research and humane policy to improve the lives of people with HIV. Dr. Bartlett once wrote of a colleague and friend who died of AIDS, ‘HIV … sometimes forces people to transcend common barriers and confront new challenges.’ John Bartlett, an inspiration to generations of his trainees, including me, taught us all what it means to rise to overcome the challenges we face – in medicine and in life. We will miss him but will never forget the lessons of his exemplary career and, most of all, his inexhaustible generosity and deep humanity. We dedicate ourselves to fulfilling his vision. With profound respect and gratitude,”
