INDIA: Vani and Christy, radio hosts from
Anna FM, interview a caregiver at CHES Ashram, an orphanage for children
orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Through its Local Voices project, Internews trains
journalists in India how to report on HIV/AIDS accurately and effectively,
in a way that reduces stigma.
"My husband is a truck driver and
I got HIV through him. I had never heard of HIV or condoms before
that and because I can't read, I couldn't understand any of the
posters or banners."
– a 33-year-old woman who lives in a slum
just outside Vijayavada in India
