amfAR deeply mourns the passing of Loreen Willenberg, also known as the San Francisco Patient, who generously shared her unique insights about living with HIV and graciously worked with researchers seeking to understand the role of the immune system in developing a cure. Diagnosed with HIV in 1992, Loreen discovered she had a rare ability to control HIV naturally. While juggling a career in landscape design and advocating for the rights and welfare of all people living with HIV, she participated in multiple clinical HIV research studies. In one study at the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard led by amfAR grantees Drs. Xu Yu and Matthias Lichterfeld, the research team was unable to find any intact HIV in her body despite searching in more than one billion cells.

We at amfAR are eternally grateful for Loreen’s inspiring contribution to HIV advocacy and expanding the boundaries of HIV cure research.

Drs. Jeffrey Johnson, Brad Jones, Melanie Ott, Nadia Roan, and Fabian Theis will launch The HIV Immune Atlas Study with an investment of $2 million from amfAR. This groundbreaking collaboration will leverage sequencing technology and artificial intelligence to create the world’s first comprehensive map of how HIV affects the immune system at a single-cell level.

These data will become a crucial scientific resource that could accelerate the development of more effective treatments for HIV, and, potentially, a cure. https://www.amfar.org/press-releases/amfar-launches-2-million-ai-enabled-collaborative-study-to-map-the-hiv-reservoir/

As Christie Brinkley so movingly pointed out at our fundraising gala last weekend, every minute two people are newly diagnosed with HIV. She concluded,
“Help us build a better tomorrow, and a healthier world for our children.”

Thank you, Christie, for all the help you gave us to make this year’s gala such a success. Learn more about our mission at www.amfar.org.

“53% of the 40.8 million people living with HIV globally are women or girls, who also account for 45% of new HIV acquisitions.” (JIAS March 5, 2026)

From the early days of the epidemic, amfAR has committed to advancing women-centered scientific discovery. amfAR supported a landmark study that provided insight into female-to-male HIV transmission and pioneered research that led to the use of medication to prevent mothers from passing HIV on to their infants.

We continue spearhead inclusive efforts:
• Ongoing amfAR policy research aims to improve health outcomes for women living with or at risk for HIV and cervical cancer
• amfAR’s TREAT Asia program has convened a research think tank to address the needs of women living with HIV in the Asia-Pacific region
• amfAR-funded scientists ensure women living with HIV are represented in cure research, including in a recent study investigating why women might be better candidates to explore immune-based cure strategies that rely on a natural ability to target hidden virus
