Living with Aids: Raquelina Armando from Mozambique - Journal (english) 01.12.2007 10 UTC

Simon PuehlerDecember 1, 2007

The UN says 33 million people worldwide are infected with the AIDS virus - with something like six thousand AIDS related fatalaties each day. But, in one positive sign, the tally of new infections IS falling - even in sub-Saharan Africa, where more than two thirds of people with HIV/AIDS live. Last year we went to Maputo -- the capital of Mozambique - to visit mother of three Raquelina Armando, who was close to death at the time, weighing just 39 kilos. A year on, we've been back to Mozambique to find out how she´s getting on.
