Holy cow! I’m happy to see my little post in among such amazing posts. AIDS is an important issue that has been getting less and less attention as people have gotten used to the idea. I’m thrilled to be a small part of an attempt that I hope will remind people that AIDS isn’t simply a disease that hurts one person here and there but that decimates families and regions, all over the world.
