On this World AIDS day, I’m thinking of my friend Gregory who died in 2007. Treatments were available by then. But due to mental illness, he did not take his AIDS meds regularly. As a result his immune system crashed and he died of another viral infection. AIDS is deadly in so many ways.

I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.
