Aids in Iran

Iran's Changing Attitude about HIV/Aids

Aljazeera TV: Participants at a world Aids conference in Mexico are calling on Iran to release from detention two doctors known for their pioneering work on HIV/AIDS. Human rights groups have claimed the two brothers, Arash and Kamiar Alaei, have been imprisoned. Aids has long been a taboo topic in Iran, where the stigma of the virus makes it difficult for people to seek treatment. But as Ali Reza Ronaghi reports things are starting to change.

My fear

by Kaveh Nouraee on Thu Aug 28, 2008 02:07 PM PDT

is that given the track record of the regime concerning other issues that directly affect the people, the number of people with HIV will only grow exponentially.

I hope I will be proven wrong.
