quick update before leaving for burkina faso tomorrow until December 1st. there is only internet in the capital, Ouagadougou (wag-a-do-goo), and Ceri and I are spending most of our time in the northern region where we are planning to ride camels and camp out in the desert! very exciting, but probably no internet for a good 10 days.
i tested my first positive yesterday in a small, very poor village in Amasaman. It was an older man who looked very poor. His teeth were all half rotten and he already had some of the symtoms of low T cells. it was unnerving to watch him discover that he had HIV. He didn't believe us for a long time and tried to leave repeatedly. I don't blame him.
