AIDS 2010 "the International AIDS Conference" is off to a great start. I went to some satellite sessions (organized by groups other than the conference, but reviewed by the conference for relevance) yesterday before the opening, and attended sessions today from 8:30AM-8:30PM with only a brief dinner break, and I'm still ready to start at 7AM tomorrow! Famous people I have seen speak:
- Deputy President of South Africa, Kgalema Molanthe
- Former US President, Bill Clinton
- Head of his own foundation, Bill Gates

This means that proper treatment is being overlooked and these medications can cause further complications later in life.
