Augusto Enrico Semprini inducted into the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude in December 2014 for his pioneering work over the last three decades bringing assisted reproductive technologies to HIV affected couples. Professor Semprini was an early and long time advocate for supporting couples with a wish for a child. As science has progressed, so has his ideas. Today he also supports the use of antiretroviral medications as both treatment and prevention to allow HIV affected couples expanded choices in safer conception options. We would not be where we are today without his brave and pioneering work.Caped as part of the Geneva 3 at the WHO Think Tank on safer conception options along with Renee Heffron and Natasha Davies.About the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude!“The plain fact is that the world does not need more successful people, but it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.” David OrrI deeply admire those who "live well in their places." The ordinary and the unsung who offer to the world the very best parts of themselves without expectation. This is a beautiful expression of love in her calm, persistent, generous manner - offering a ripple of change (a metamorphosis) to the world. Inductees to the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude are caped in recognition of their contributions to a love-filled world.
