dr. julio montaner, vancouver hiv/aids expert. stuart mcnish / special to the sun
in 1996, dr. julio montaner hosted the vancouver international aids conference and shared the haart antiretroviral treatment he and a team of committed scientists was pioneering in vancouver.
since then, he has pioneered the concept of treatment as prevention, rather than only targeting people who were already sick.
montaner was the first person to advocate expanding the antiretroviral coverage to curb the impact on the hiv/aids pandemic and decrease progression to aids and death.
so effective have been montaner’s efforts that the concept of treatment as prevention has been implemented with great success in b.c. and around the world. in 2013, it was fully incorporated into world health organization guidelines.
montaner joined a conversation that matter about hiv/aids, where we are at in treatment, where we need to go and what roadblocks still need to be removed.
