Each of the selected artists were awarded a cash prize. The art contest and exhibition was sponsored by Roche.

CMV Retinitis

Cytomegalovirus or CMV is a virus that is acquired by many or most in early adulthood. When the immune defenses are down, the virus may cause infection and the infection may be almost anyplace: the eye, the brain, the esophagus, the bowel or the lung. In patients with HIV infection with severe suppression of the immune status, CMV often causes infection in the back of the eye or the retina, resulting in CMV retinitis. This causes changes in vision and may actually lead to blindness in the absence of adequate treatment.
