Winifred Ikilai, 29, a Ugandan HIV research activist advancing global efforts to end HIV/Aids, has won the Omololu Falobi Award for her excellence in HIV/Aids prevention research community advocacy.
The award is in honour of Omololu Falobi, a Nigerian journalist and HIV/Aids activist who passed on in 2006. She was honoured on February 4 last week via Zoom at the culmination of a weeklong HIV/Aids Research for Prevention (HIVR4P) virtual conference.
The conference was organized by International Aids Society (IAS) and it is the only global scientific conference dedicated exclusively to biomedical HIV/Aids prevention research.
