Aids Researcher Receives Prestigious Award

Summary


Dr. Allan Ronald has spent more than 20 years researching sexually transmitted diseases and HIV in Africa. Today, Ronald spends his "retirement" training doctors and nurses in HIV/AIDS treatment in Uganda.

Ronald said he hasn't decided exactly how he'll spend the cash prize, but said it will likely go toward programs he and his wife, Myrna, have developed to help orphans in Kenya and Uganda.

U of M researchers such as Ronald, Dr. Stephen Moses and Dr. Frank Plummer have made some of the biggest advances in unravelling the mysteries of HIV. These include being among the first to prove HIV could be transmitted between heterosexuals, and that it was not a disease that exclusively attacked homosexual men.
