Wozniak, after her first marriage failed in the late 1980s, had had unprotected sex in three relationships before her second marriage in 1990, and believes that’s when she contracted it.

“I learned that I was positive in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and I moved [to South Bend] to better educate myself and be around people that are positive as well”, said Graves. Is the World Health Organization pushing “a good story” when the story is far more complex?

Before 2009, most HIV infections in China were caused by intravenous drug use, blood transfusions, mother-to-child transmission and “unknown” factors.

Health Minister J.P.Nadda said Modi had decided the expenses incurred in running the nationwide program will be borne by New Delhi, effectively restoring the earlier funding arrangement.

“I hate telling lies, so it was most hard for me”, said Wozniak, who was depressed and diagnosed with chronic post-traumatic stress disorder. She was at the clinic in Yangon to receive her monthly medicine.

But speaking up about the virus, while frightening, can have benefits, said Shange, who wears a yellow campaign t-shirt sporting the face of President Jacob Zuma and lives in a tidy concrete house complete with electricity and a television.
