Hi John!
I hope you had a nice x-mas evening, and a good party to start the new year! I hope yours is as workfull (in the sense of hoping that you continue doing your aids-work so well!) as this one! I'm not sure if I told you my personal emotions and thoughts after and while you where speaking at BORG-Murau! If I did already don't mind, listen for another time, I want to tell you! Befor you talked to me I already used condoms, I'm not stupid!BUT I did it because of the wrong reasons! I did it without thinking about it, it was just normal for me to use a condom. I used it not to get pregnant. I didn't think about the possibility to get HIV or another sexual transmitted disease. It was so far away for me, because I didn't know somebody who had aids, I even didn't know somebody who knows somebody having aids! But with your talk you woke me up, I started to realize that aids is a problem which is always present! Everybody is afflacted. I can't describe my feelings in english so well, but I hope you understood a little bit of the things I tried to explane to you! I new aids before and I used condoms before, you just made me see these things from another point of view. It's just different now!!! You did a great job, hope it was not the last time I hear you talking about aids!
with love
Kathrin
PS: Are you already in America again?
You would love the haircolor I'm having right now! It's quite dark, a mix between blue and purple. It depends on the sunshine how the color looks like, sometimes it's blue, sometimes purple or inbetween
