1held in Durban in June. The conference brought together clinical scientists, basic scientists, educators and learners, law and human rights experts, practitioners (doctors, nurses, community carers), community workers, NGOs, members of civil society and lay members of so-called key populations (e.g. sex workers), pharmaceutical industry representatives, people from the world of work, politicians and policy makers. June 2011 marked the 30th anniversary of the recognition of the pandemic, then manifesting in New York as outbreaks among the gay population of Kaposi’s sarcoma and pneumocystis pneumonia in ostensibly healthy young men. A year later the Centers for Disease Control coined the term ‘acquired immune deficiency syndrome’ – AIDS. A soaring death rate led to a scramble to identify the cause. Assigning credit for the discovery of HIV was controversial, but it is agreed that Robert Gallo, a ‘retrovirologist’ at the National Cancer Institute, Maryland, Luc Montagnier and their research groups contributed significantly. Montagnier’s group first isolated HIV, while Gallo’s group demonstrated that the virus causes AIDS and generated much of the science that made the discovery possible, including a technique previously developed by Gallo’s laboratory for growing T cells in the lab. 2 There have since been breathtaking scientific advances, and understanding of the virus’s structure, mode of replication and targeting of the immune system have led to the development of drug therapy to restore immunity, although not yet to cure infection, and tools and methods to limit transmission. South Africa has proved particularly vulnerable. While having 0.7% of the world population we carry 17% of the global HIV burden, and 1 out of every 100 South Africans has tuberculosis. The Durban conference celebrated the enormous continuing contributions by South African professional and lay health communities. Our scientists and practitioners have played pivotal roles in the field, many reported in this journal and its sister, the South African Journal of HIV Medicine. The dark days of denialism have ended and reduction of a vicious epidemic is envisioned on the back of the National Department of Health’s Strategic Priority Framework for the New HIV/STI and TB National Strategic Plan and New Primary Healthcare Revitalisation Programme. The health system’s robust new approach encompasses a massive HIV counselling and testing (test one – test all) campaign, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment and expansion of medical male circumcision. 3
