European Hector Research Award in HIV
In 2019, the H.W. & J. Hector Foundation, Weinheim, Germany, under the initiative of Prof. Jürgen Rockstroh, created and announced a prize for European HIV research. The prize awards the best scientific achievements in the HIV research arena in the year preceding that of the European AIDS Conference. There are two categories which receive a dotation each. Laureates are announced during the European AIDS Conference.
In 2023, the best clinical and/or epidemiological paper was awarded to Prof. Joseph Jarvis and Dr David Lawrence for their paper on "Single-Dose Liposomal Amphotericin B Treatment for Cryptococcal Meningitis".
