- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Today the daughter went in for her last test for the HIV virus after getting pierced with a dental tool while working on an HIV-positive orphan in Kenya last spring. She is now officially in the clear. The group is scheduling another dental trip (she can't forget the 42 kids with severe cavities they didn't have time to get to) but her husband has put his foot down. Ecuador, fine, but not Kenya.

I'm glad to hear she's clear! And I understand why the husband put his foot down after that scare!

HUGE sigh of relief for everyone, I'm sure. My husband is from Zimbabwe, and whenever we travel there the HIV/AIDS epidemic seems to be worse. The last time we went, an AIDS worker told us 1 out of every 4 Zimbabweans are HIV positive. I imagine it's similar in Kenya.Today the daughter went in for her last test for the HIV virus after getting pierced with a dental tool while working on an HIV-positive orphan in Kenya last spring.

That must be such a relief for everyone, and I certainly understand her husbands point of view.
