AIDS and Egypt

A report on how taboos over sex are hampering the fight against HIV and AIDS in Egypt

A report on how taboos over sex are hampering the fight against HIV and AIDS in Egypt. Gay men and drug addicts remain the most at risk of contracting HIV in a country where prostitution is illegal. Anonymous HIV and AIDS sufferers talk about their plight and how many risk infecting others out of ignorance, which is in part fuelled by taboos around sex outside marriage.
