To date, a majority of the response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic has focused on treating women and children. Concentrating medical care on this vulnerable population is a smart, effective policy that will prove crucial to stopping the spread of the virus. However, these programs often fail to reach sex workers, a high-risk population that must be engaged if we are to have any hope of containing the spread of the virus.
My birthday this week was such a blessing for me. I was surrounded by dear friends, my loving family, and by you. The notes I received from the Raising Malawi family were simply beautiful—both in their kindness and their concern for the children of Malawi. Thank you for making my birthday so special.
