Living with HIV in Bolivia

An article from BBC News, excerpt :

" In the waiting room at the HIV and Aids clinic in La Paz, Bolivia's main city, a morning soap opera plays on TV.

This is the only place in La Paz to get tested for the virus and where people living with HIV can see a doctor and receive medication.

By law, people who are HIV-positive are entitled to free antiretroviral drugs. This includes Lily, 49, who was diagnosed eight years ago."
