A Burmese man suffering from AIDS is resting in a dormitory of a Christian organization. He is not receiving the potential lifesaving ARV-treatment. The few NGO programs in the country are overburdened and the government program is almost non-existent.
On top of huge under-funding, lack of information and stigmatization are big hurdles in fighting the epidemic. A young Christian HIV-positive woman says that when she told her congregation of her disease at a church service, they took her plastic chair outside and washed it.
