Iris is the best! ACT UP could never have done what we did without her.
Iris became my hero early on in How To Survive a Plague, along with Peter Staley. I am so glad both of these champions are still roaming the earth,continuing to fight the good fight. I have had the chance (thank you Facebook)to wish Peter well. I extend the same sentiment to Iris here in the hope that my feelings of respect and admiration reach her. Be well Iris, and thank you, both personally and on behalf of the many who will be robbed of ever hearing your good name. Cheers.

Iris is an unsung hero of the AIDS epidemic. Even many in ACT UP didn't realize, at the time, the depth of her determination and the import of her work. Thank you for recognizing her life-saving contributions to HIV treatment.
