Hosted 30 Staff members from the Senate Appropriations and Oversight
committees at the Special Clinical Studies Unit (SCSU) at the Clinical Center where we
took care of           and                     I did for them the complete donning and
doffing procedure, which they absolutely loved. Many questions.

Did a telebriefing for the release of the START study data (DSMB recommended
stopping the study due to highly positive results). Clearly starting ARVs at greater than
500 CD4+ T cell count was much more beneficial (p <0.001) than waiting until counts
drop to 350. Got much attention. Front page of NY Times with my picture in ONLINE
version of Times. Also the next night (May 28), I appeared with Judy Woodruff on the
NewsHour.
