Dear New York,

Thank you for having me. I was never much for big cities, but it’s been wonderful to meet and see religious leaders young and old, stress their common commitment to overcoming HIV and ending AIDS. Particularly as we focus now on getting children and adolescents on testing and treatment, so they can grow up to live long and healthy lives.

Take care, until we meet again,
Albin
