STD Pioneer's Awareness Trust

The Grandfather of AIDS Awareness

Dr. (Major) Maganlal P. Vora, M.B.B.S., D.V.D., I.M.S. (R)

The Pioneer for spreading STD / STI and AIDS / HIV Awareness in the World

He is 98 years old today and in fairly good health for his age. He spent his whole life in the promotion of awareness and treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) / Infections (STIs) and AIDS. He is perhaps the oldest living person in the world having spent over 70 years in promotion of "awareness" in this field of Sexual Diseases. He went into Venereal Diseases right after his graduation in 1934. He was attached to the Department of Venereal Diseases of the Sir J. J. Hospital, Mumbai (Bombay), India in those days.

The list of numerous articles (over 100) written during his life bear testimony to this fact and his relentless commitment to this cause. For complete Biodata click here

The word SPAT chosen as an abbreviation for STD Pioneer's Awareness Trust makes sense since it explains his life long struggle to change the system and public thinking / discrimination against AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Disease patients.

His life's passion was a struggle to fight the system and bring about a change in public thinking and remove the stigma. He is an unknown and forgotten person in his field. Perhaps this Website and Trust created will bring him into the limelight and get him the public recognition he richly deserves as the Grandfather of AIDS Awareness.
