| Description | The AIDS virus thrives on ignorance and powerlessness. People who don't know how to protect themselves... or don't have the means to do so... often fall victim to HIV. What's true for individuals is also true for nations. And one nation in Southeast Asia provides a lesson in how silence and oppression can spread AIDS. That nation is Myanmar -- formerly called Burma. Military dictators have ruled Myanmar for more than forty years. Dissidents are jailed, news is heavily censored, and now HIV is racing through the population. Foreign journalists are rarely allowed in the country. But The World's Orlando de Guzman traveled there on several occasions during the past year. In the first of two reports, he provides this glimpse inside the secretive nation and its hidden epidemic. | |
