Company Theatre

We are working with a biotech company, Calypte, which has designed a urine test for the HIV antibody.

Disease Death People

AIDS does not inevitably lead to death, especially if you suppress the co-factors that support the disease. It is very important to tell this to people who are infected.

Disease Fact

Another interesting field, which is my own, is cofactors, not only to the disease but also to transmission. I am still puzzled by the fact that you get more sexual transmission in some ethnic populations. One way to answer this is to look for genetic factors.

Now

I think we should put the same weight now on the co-factors as we have on HIV.

Goal Disease Will

Our goal is not to completely eradicate the infection - that would be very difficult - but to produce a vaccine that will prevent not infection but disease. I think this is more possible.

Now World People

They don't actually see the real world, where 95% of the people with HIV are not treated and are dying. And even though we have some blue sky now in our country, the sky could become cloudy again very soon.

What makes cookbooks interesting is to find out about the people and the culture that invented the food.
