TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art

01/18/2018

Dr. Mathilde Krim, amfAR Founding Chairman, 1926-2018.

Today, we mourn the passing of our beloved Founding Chairman, Mathilde Krim, Ph.D. A pioneer in AIDS research and activism, Dr. Krim was at the forefront of scientific and philanthropic responses to HIV/AIDS long before the world fully understood its catastrophic global reach. She dedicated herself to increasing the public’s awareness of AIDS and became personally active in AIDS research.

As amfAR’s founding chairman, and chairman of the board from 1990 to 2004, she was the heart and soul of the organization. She helped create it, supported it, kept it afloat more than once, and guided it with extraordinary dedication.

Dr. Krim testified on Capitol Hill on several occasions and was a driving force behind legislation that expanded access to lifesaving treatment and behind efforts to scale up federal funding for AIDS research. In August 2000, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom—the highest civilian honor in the United States.

Dr. Krim was an extraordinary woman who had such a profound impact on the lives of so many. Today we remember how much she gave us and the millions for whom she dedicated her life. There is joy to be found in knowing that so many people alive today literally owe their lives to this great woman.

At the request of her family, donations may be sent in lieu of flowers to amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, 120 Wall Street, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10005, or may be made online at www.amfar.org/krim

Indeed, even if a medical curative therapy for HIV is developed, it is imperative that the HI...
