Episode 49: South Korea Update
June 1st, 2012
David Crowe visited South Korea and met with four members of the Korean Human Rights Organization for HIV/AIDS Reappraisal.
The website of this group, its publications, and its meetings and networking, have saved the lives of many people. In Korea, a conservative Asian society, HIV is associated with deep shame. This isolates affected people and pushes them into the arms of doctors and hospitals. This organization is the only alternative and its quiet influence is feared by the Korean HIV/AIDS establishment as, with a small number of HIV cases, it has a huge influence.
