Hello Marion…

It was a pleasure meeting you in Vienna at the Emory/Speranza Foundation reception! I work for a small company in San Francisco that is building a portable test for HIV that can be used in Africa; we’re hoping to expand testing for early infant diagnosis.

I was touched by your story of how you began working with the Rotarians. My mother also lost a son (my older brother) – not to HIV, but an automobile accident when he was 19. I can appreciate the resources you have marshaled in the effort toward fighting HIV/AIDS.

If there is any way I can help your efforts, please let me know!

Cheers,
