First AIDS Death

Posted by on July 6, 2008 in Medical Work

This is a sobering report. I just got a note from our medical base in East Indonesia. They informed me that a father of four came to our clinic. He died yesterday from the effects of AIDS. The sad part of the story in that three of his children have also died of AIDS.

Our teams go into public schools and warn the students about STD’s. I have witnessed these amazing teams as they tell these students the realities of the sexually transmitted diseases. These students look wide-eyed as they hear these warnings. Now what we have been so concerned about has been confirmed–AIDS is now spreading in these villages.
