150 nurses employed in the hospital taking care of all patients.
Medical personnel is responsible for their own and patients’
security and treats all patients as potentially HIV+.
HIV patients are dispersed around the wards, they are by no means
isolated from other sick people. The only existing division is
between the drug addicts and MSM due to the
antagonisms.
ARV treatment - breakdown in the work of HIV nurses – provides
quality of life for the patients and job security for the personel.
