About this work
Description
African journalist Sorious Samura travels to Zambia where over a million people live with either the HIV virus or Aids. Samura works as an orderly in a state-run hospital there for a month to get a clearer picture of what's happening. While working at the hospital he lives with a family sufrering from HIV / Aids. It becomes clear to Samura that sexual attitudes, especially among African men, is playing a large part in the spread of the virus as promiscuity is seen as success for men. Samura believes that it will only be in breaking these attitudes that real change will come about in the threat to African lives of the HIV virus.
