#...Лечение СПИДа на Украине
Довольно большой репортаж великого Брента Стиртона посвященный теме распространения, профилактике, и лечения СПИДа на Украине... Фотографии сняты недавно, в 2011 году. Фотографии нелицеприятные, и тяжелые. Честно говоря не знаю конечно как с лечением больных в США, но по данным фотографиям создается ощущение что это не Украина, а какая-то Африканская республика чтоли. Спаси и Сохрани.
Комментарии к фотографиям пока что на английском языке. Будет перевод - добавлю.
KRYVYI RIG, UKRAINE - AUGUST 31: A young man in the final stages of full blown AIDS lies in a coma days from death in hospital, August 31, 2011 in Kryvyi Rig, Ukraine. He has a very low T cell count and is almost certain to die from immune failure related disease. His case is so dire is because there have been no new admissions allowed to the list of Anti Retro-Viral therapy recipients for those people living with full blown AIDS in Ukraine since the end of 2010. Nine months later in September 2011 all those people who have become critically ill but are not on the old list of ART recipients are living under a death sentence as their immune systems collapse. There is a new Government in Ukraine and the Ministry of Health controls all ART (Anti-RetroViral treatment,) medicine. As this business is put out to tender to the various pharmaceutical companies, a series of ignorances, bribes and corrupt practises hinder this vital service from coming into being in time to provide life-saving ART therapy to those who are dying without it.

KHARKOV, UKRAINE - AUGUST 28: Svetlana is an addiction damaged 33 year old woman who is trying to remain drug free with the support of a group of like-minded friends, August 28, 2011 in Kharkov, Ukraine. She lost the lower part of her jaw to an infection caused by unclean chemicals in the drugs she was using and was also badly beaten by her previous boyfriend throughout her ten years of addiction. The scar on her stomach is due to an operation to stem internal damage caused by those beatings. Despite this, Svetlana remains optimistic and has raised a 12 year old daughter who is doing well at school and is a normal child. Svetlana hopes to remain drug free and is not on a substitution program, choosing to tough it out on her own against her addiction. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)

POLTAVA, UKRAINE - AUGUST 12: In a small apartment in a poor neighbourhood of Poltava, one of two brothers shoot up drugs while their mother looks on helpless in her own home, August 12, 2005 in Poltava, Ukraine. Alla, left, is the mother of Dima, 39, middle, and Ruslan, 36, out of frame. They have been addicts for over 20 years and in that time both sons have had daughters. Alla lost her husband 15 years ago and had to quit her job as a kindergarten teacher to look after her addict sons. Ruslan, the younger son, often berates her for being a bad mother as a means of controlling her and ensuring that she will continue to look after him and his brother. It is rumoured in the neighbourhood that the family deals in drugs so as the two brothers can maintain their addiction. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)

Mass unemployment across Ukraine is a big driver for prostitution, drug use is often a natural follow on and reinforces the cycle of sex for sale. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)

KIEV, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 7: The Tuberculosis Hospital, September 7, 2011 in Kiev, Ukraine. Staff work under difficult conditions, with many patients who are drug addicts and criminals. There are also severe shortages in terms of funding for new equipment and security for the staff. Staff in the hospital have been attacked by patients, police are afraid of the disease these patients carry and have not acted to protect the nurses and doctors who risk their lives daily in the care of these patients.

KIEV, UKRAINE - AUGUST 25: A prisoner in the last stages of full-blown AIDS who has been rushed to the Kiev AIDS Center from prison receives compassionate care from a doctor while chained to the bed, August 25, 2011 in Kiev, Ukraine. This facility is one of two in Ukriane and deals with many drug addicts and other difficult AIDS infected people. There are strict rules and conditions in the wards which staff claim are neccesary to protect them from aggressive, manic patients. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)
KHERSON, UKRAINE - AUGUST 18: Prisoners with full blown AIDS lay in their intensive care ward at Kherson Prison Hospital for prisoners with HIV/AIDS, August 18, 2005 in Kershon. Kherson Prison is the only Prison in Ukraine where HIV + prisoners are treated. There are no programmes in place for funding for Anti Retro Viral treatments for prisoners. The prisoners know they are dying and that treatment is not available to them. The prison hospital has recently used small government funding to attempt to modernise but cannot go further due to lack of funds. No testing equipment is available and all tests have to go to Odessa for results. In the last year the number of HIV + prisoners passing through this hospital has tripled. For most prisoners ignorance adds to the stigma of AIDS and it is difficult to gain a true idea of HIV statistics behind bars in Ukraine. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)

POLTAVA, UKRAINE - AUGUST 25: Three female prisoners undergo AIDS testing inside prison, August 25, 2011 in Poltava, Ukraine. This facility is rare in that it has recently introduced AIDS testing and Anti-retro-Viral therapy for prisoners, something very recent in Ukraine. There has been minimal care for prisoners who find out they are HIV+ in prison. Poor conditions and nutrition hasten the decline of the immune system and without access to ART's, this is normally a death sentence in prison in Ukraine.

DNEPROPETROVSK, UKRAINE - AUGUST 30: A former Surgical doctor, Olga, conducts mobile rapid testing for the AIDS virus in housing projects amongst drug users, August 30, 2011 in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Olga came to work in these communities because she was unknowingly infected with HIV by a surgical patient in late 2000 when she was 26. Her hospital found out at the regular 6 month testing required by surgical doctors. Olga was then asked to resign by the Chief Medical officer and when she refused was subjected to humiliating and multiple pressures at work. She was finally forced to resign after 4 months of unrelenting pressure and active rumor mongering amongst hospital staff that she had been working as a prostitute and violating her privacy by telling other about her HIV status. She spent the next two years locked away in her apartment, not daring to tell anyone and being a total recluse. Since then she has embraced her HIV + status and uses her medical training to care for disadvantaged HIV+ people in her town. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)
KHARKOV, UKRAINE - AUGUST 29: Sergei helps his partially paralysed friend Volver to shower at a rehabilitation center, August 29, 2011 in Kharkov, Ukraine. Volver was paralysed when he used a drug made up of Ephedrine and other chemicals which permanently damaged his nervous system. Sergei and other members of this recovering addict community help Volver to get through each day with acts of kindness that bind them together like brothers. This unselfish daily activity gives lie to the fact that addicts and also HIV+ people in Ukraine are often seen as unworthy people undeserving of compassion.

KRYVYI RIG, UKRAINE - AUGUST 31: HIV + drug addict Sacha bathes his mother every day in their small apartment August 31, 2011 in Kryvyi Rig, Ukraine. He takes care of her, washing her clothes, feeding her and makes sure she is cared for. Sacha is worried as he moves into full blown AIDS that there will be no-one to look after his elderly mother. The reason his case is so worriesome is because there have been no new admissions allowed to the list of Anti Retro-Viral therapy recipients for those people living with full blown AIDS in Ukraine since the end of 2010. Sacha is not on that list and is inelegible for treatment as a result. Nine months later in September 2011 all those people who have become critically ill but are not on the old list of ART recipients are living under a death sentence as their immune systems collapse. There is a new Government in Ukraine and the Ministry of Health controls all ART (Anti-RetroViral treatment,) medicine.

DONETSK, UKRAINE - AUGUST 16: Sacha, 33, was a drug addict for 12 years before he found relegion, August 16, 2005 in Donetsk, Ukraine. He believes that God found him and saved him from himself. He continues to deal drugs but he now collects needles for needle exchange programmes in Donetsk. He gives those clean needles out to the addicts who frequent his house, a perfect fromula for needle exchange. When he was using drugs he almost destroyed the home he is sitting in. Now he is trying to rebuild it. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)
POLTAVA, UKRAINE - AUGUST 26: Sergei, a veteran former addict who now actively counsels and supports people trying to get off drugs, August 26, 2011 in Poltava, Ukraine. Sergei went on a Methadone substitution program to get off heroin and then quit Methadone to live drug free. He is the first addict in Poltava to have made this very difficult and painful step.

DONETSK, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 1: Alina, a 10 year old HIV+ girl is examined by doctors at a mobile unit which moves between small cities dealing with HIV+ children who would not otherwise have access to treatment, September 1, 2011 in Donetsk, Ukraine. Alina is the daughter of HIV+ drug addicts, her T cell count is checked as is her weight and growth, she also receives 3 months ART therapy medication from the doctors of this mobile unit. Alina is extraordinarily independent, she spends most of her time with her great grandmother and essentially raises herself, she consults with the doctors on how her body is coping with the disease and she understands what is happening to her completely. She cooks, cleans and plans for herself and does well at school and is very independent and well mannered, especially for someone who comes from her social circumstances. A person to be hugely admired and loved. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)
ODESSA, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 4: Street children living in poor conditions, September 4, 2011 in Odessa, Ukraine. The use of drugs and alcohol amongst these children as a means of coping with their lives is common, and there is a 30% prevalence of HIV amongst them. Ukraine is estimated by Unicef to be home to half a million street kids. Girls are especially vulnerable, there are far fewer of them and many are involved in the sex trade as a means to support themselves. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images.)
ODESSA, UKRAINE - AUGUST 21: A group of streetkids sleeping in a damp, filthy underground cellar on August 21, 2005 in Odessa, Ukraine. All of the 6 kids in the cellar are HIV+ and many have signs of advanced Tuberculosis. When they were told of their HIV+ status the kids reportedly said, "Kill us, give us an injection and let us die now." Local NGO "The Way Home" tries to visit these kids on a regular basis and takes them food, condoms and clean needles. It is estimated that there are over 5000 of these streetkids in Odessa. They speak no common moral language as a result of their experiences on the street and form their own criminal underclass in Ukraine. They are often used by older criminals as thieves as they are difficult to prosecute as minors. The girls are often forced to act as prostitutes and are extremely vulneralbe to rape, pregnancy at a young age and sexually transmitted disease. The fact that many of them are HIV+ and drug users only adds to their desperation and fearlessness. Neglecting the streetkid/HIV issue means a growing future problem for authorities in Ukraine.

ODESSA, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 4: Two young brothers living in poor conditions, September 4, 2011 in Odessa, Ukraine. Their mother is an alcoholic and they live half with her and half on the street. Most street children in Ukraine start off this way, parental apathy, neglect or abuse is the key to why most children end up on the street. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)
KIEV, UKRAINE - AUGUST 12: Nadia, a 6 year old AIDS orphan at the Kiev Orphanage Berezka on August 12, 2005 in Kiev, Ukraine. She has been living with full blown AIDS for some years now and is on Anti Retro Viral treatment made possible by the Global funds involvement in the orphanage. Nadia is significantly older than the other 20 HIV+ abandoned children at the orphanage and it is looking increasingly unlikely she will be adopted. In spite of this she is a bright and independent child who is very loving to all visitors. The orphanage is home for abandoned children from age zero to 4 years.

DONETSK, UKRAINE, SEPTEMBER 2: The only orphanage in Ukraine dedicated exclusively to children living with HIV, September 2, 2011 in Donetsk, Ukraine. The children here are given special care and access to ART therapy which ensures they live fuller, happier lives. Prejudice against adopting HIV + kids in Ukraine is slowly waining and more kids are slowly being accepted and adopted by foster parents. This is a big leap forwards in the last 6 years when HIV+ kids grew old and lonely without hope of adoption, often living in isolation in orphanages.

KHARKOV, UKRAINE - AUGUST 28: In addition to normally orphaned children, Orphanage Zeleniy Gai is a home to HIV + children, Aids affected children as well as children removed from homes where parents were either too addicted to care for them or too remiss as a result of their addictions, on August 28 2011 in Kharkov, Ukraine. This orphanage is one of the few in Ukraine to make children living with HIV a priority. There are special exercise programs, therapy using animals and special new born units all designed to care for these children. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images)

UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 6: Banchensky Svyato - Voznesensky Monastry Orphanage is an orphanage founded by the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine which takes exceptional care of 253 kids, on September 6, 2011 in Ukraine. 44 of the kids at the orphanage are HIV+ and live in a special building with permanent care-givers and exceptional living conditions. The kids on ART therapy receive that daily at breakfast, the kids old enough to go to school do so at the local village school. The younger kids receive a kindergarten style education on the orphanage premises.
