A GLOBAL AIDS summit in Melbourne was in shock yesterday at the loss of colleagues in the Malaysia Airlines disaster, but spirits were lifted when the number who died was put at six, far fewer than feared.
Early reports said up to 100 passengers were en route to an international AIDS conference. But International AIDS Society president Francoise Barre-Sinoussi said just six were confirmed dead.
“The number that we have confirmed through our contacts ... is six,” she said.
Among them was Dutchman Joep Lange, a pioneer of cheap antiretrovirals for the poor.
