Profile: Bertrand Audoin: promoting a global strategy for IAS

Abstract

The increase in donations meant that Sidaction was able to start HIV treatment and prevention programmes in 32 developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa, eastern Europe, and Asia. Barré-Sinoussi, who as President-Elect of IAS will become the society's new President in 2012, believes that Audoin's astute management and fundraising skills will be crucial for promoting international research towards a cure for HIV-a new priority area for IAS that she is already actively involved in.
