James : Photos taken by marni-j

James

This is a home visit to 15 year old James. James is an orphan and is living HIV positive but doesnt know it. People decided not to tell him about his status as they are worried about his reaction and the hight suicide rate of teenagers in the community of Usa River (about 20 km. outside Arusha). James was home from school that week we visited him. All he knows is that he is sick. James likes listening to the radio which he has managed to wire up through his bedroom window,using his neighbours power.
