A very good argument for supporting the BornHIVFree campaign: An even better argument: Please pass it on.

Tomorrow, I leave for Africa, to see this project in action. While I’m gone, please consider signing the petition to support it. And then tell all your friends. And tell them to tell all their friends. If you all sign up – as Carla Bruni Sarkozy says in the video above – we can make…
