1936

Marcus Augustine Conant (born May 11, 1936, in Jacksonville, Florida) is an American dermatologist and one of the first physicians to diagnose and treat Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in 1981.

He helped create one of the largest private AIDS clinics, was a founder of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and his work contributed to development of some of today's top HIV medications.

He has written over 70 publications on the treatment of AIDS.

Marcus Augustine Conant was born on May 11, 1936, in Jacksonville, Florida, to Marcus and Annie Long Conant.

1967

In 1967, he received his first academic appointment, as an instructor in clinical dermatology.

As a resident at UCSF, Conant also volunteered at the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics, where he treated patients with genital herpes.

2010

In 2010, Conant closed his practice in San Francisco, where he cared for over 8,000 patients with HIV/AIDS, and moved to New York, citing rising costs and difficulties in dealing with health insurance companies.

He continued to consult with researchers on a reported association of a virus with chronic fatigue syndrome and autism.
