I wish you could all join me at the Turbo Clinic on one of my Friday visits. You'd probably get to meet Charles, a wonderful young man I enjoy seeing.
Charles came to the clinic with HIV that was ravaging his physical and mental health. He was just 45 kilos in his mid-teens. He wouldn't talk to anyone at the clinic and refused to take his medicine. He had no hope.
One day I said to him: "Charles, if I could get you to take your medicine and get back to school, I might be able to bring you over a laptop the next time I'm in the US."
Charles now has an undectable HIV load and is up to 60 kilos. He's finishing his second year in high school and using that laptop everyday.
