Jonathan Mann & Mary-Lou Clements-Mann Killed

Jonathan Mann was the head of the World Health Organization's AIDS program from 1986-1990, when he quit and denounced then-WHO head Hiroshi Nakajimi for "completely paralyz[ing] our efforts." At the time of his death, Mann was dean of Allegheny University of the Health Sciences' School of Public Health in Philadelphia. Until December, he was a professor of international health and epidemiology at Harvard University's School of Public Health.

"In the '80s, he was truly a visionary at a time when it was absolutely not clear how devastating and epidemic AIDS would become," said Peter Piot, executive director of UNAIDS. "He pulled off what he called a global response both in developing and developed countries."

HIV+Canadians Must Reveal Status Before Sex

People with HIV or other dangerous sexually transmitted diseases must reveal their condition to sex partners before having sex without condoms, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled September 3.

The decision came in the case of Henry Cuerrier of Squamish, B.C., who had sex with two women more than 100 times without telling them he carries HIV. Neither woman seroconverted to HIV- positive.

"The risks of infection are so devastating that there is a real and urgent need to provide a measure of protection for those in the position of the complainants," Justice Peter Cory wrote.

The Canadian AIDS Society denounced the ruling, saying it will make people afraid to get tested.
