AIDS in Haiti
あらすじ・解説
In the early years of the AIDS epidemic, the CDC identified four risk factors for HIV infection: “homosexuals, hemophiliacs, heroin addicts and Haitians.” Although public health messages have changed to a recognition that behavior, not ethnicity, can lead to infection, stigma stills permeates the Haitian community. Producer Lakshmi Singh visits the immigrant community in the U.S. where the disease remains in the shadows and then travels on to Haiti. She draws a portrait of a country still in turmoil: a mother in a rural countryside already overwhelmed by poverty and disease; sex workers who must decide every night whether to risk condom free sex; and HIV positive family members who still feel a lingering stigma. The prognosis for Haiti's response to the disease remains elusive. Yet, as Singh discovers, doctors firmly believe that the tide is turning on the AIDS battle in Haiti. Haiti's largest health center, in Port-au-Prince, is run by Dr. Jean William Pape who is encouraged by lower rates of infection among newly born infants. Out in the country-side, we visit with Dr. Paul Farmer who is spear-heading work with Partners in Health, a community-based health center.
