Sinners' Disease – surviving HIV in Russia

by Jan-Jaap Kuiper

There are almost one million people living with HIV in Russia, but the virus is still widely regarded as a “sinners’ disease”. Sasha Volgina - HIV positive, pregnant and bustling with energy – leads a young activist group protesting against the shortage of antiretrovirals. While fighting for the medicines essential for her and her unborn baby, she faces reluctant government, AIDS denialists and her own past as a heroin addict.
