Uganda has been hit
hard by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, the country
is now fighting back and the number of Ugandans
infected has dropped from 15% to 6%. Part of this
can be attributed to access to ARV's, particularly
for children. Recently Annabella was told she had
HIV. Her mother was ill and her father died of AIDS
shortly after. Luckily both Annabella and her mother
have had access to ARV's, meaning that they are able
to carry on with life as normal. Without these her
mother would not be able to work in the fields and
feed her family and Annabella would not be able to
help when her mother is not feeling up to it.
Annabella can go to school and carry on learning,
and contemplate having a baby that is HIV free.
Without these drugs Annabella, and many people like
her, have little hope.
Part of a 28 x 25-minute documentary series produced
