IDSA & HIVMA on the Passing of ID & HIV Leader Adaora Adimora, MD, MPH, FIDSA

Dr. Adaora Adimora exemplified the difference a single person can make in the world. She was an extraordinary leader, infectious diseases physician, researcher, mentor, advocate and colleague committed to addressing the drivers of HIV-related health disparities with a special focus on women. We are grateful for her generosity and service to IDSA and HIVMA. May her compassion and commitment to health equity and science continue to inspire us all.
