Timothy Ray Brown Virtual Memorial Service
Timothy Ray Brown is considered to be the first person cured of HIV. Known initially as “The Berlin Patient,” he dedicated his life to supporting HIV cure research after being cured of HIV following two stem cell transplants, which were done to treat acute myeloid leukemia. Timothy traveled to conferences around the world and inspired researchers, activists and people living with HIV with his story. Sadly, Timothy’s cancer returned last year, and he passed away on September 29, 2020. He was 54.
There will be a virtual memorial service for Timothy on Feburary 16—his “cure” birthday. Speakers will include his partner Tim Hoeffgen, Dr. Nichole Klatt, Dr. Thomas Hope, Dr. Jonah Sacha, Dr. Paula Cannon, Jeff Taylor and Michael Louella.
