Attended World Leaders Forum at the Low Library at Columbia
University. On a panel with Wafaa El-Sadr, Eric Goosby and Michel Sidibe (Director,
UNAIDS). Very enjoyable. Jenny attended. Discussed the potential end of AIDS.

Oct. 6 – 10, 2012 – trip to South Africa mainly to participate in the opening of the
Kwazulu-Natal Research Institute for TB and HIV (K-RITH) in Durban. Flew to
Johannesburg and gave special lecture on Ending the AIDS Pandemic to the University
of Witwatersrand. Then drove to Pretoria to participate in the 10th Anniversary of the
PHIDISA project with the South Africa National Defense Force (SANDF). This
program largely championed by Cliff Lane. Then flew to Durban to Open the K-RITH.
Amazing architecture of the new building. Many luminaries present at the opening –
Ron Daniels (Pres. of JHU), Pres. Of Mass. General, Rob Tjian – President of HHMI

who funded the project. NIAID funds Bill Safai (PI of KRITH). Great dinner at the
Oyster Box Hotel. I gave some after dinner remarks.
