AIDS related illnesses

Magda* (15), winces with pain as she takes her first walk out of her hospital room in six weeks. Her mother sits by her bed every day dreading the day she will lose the last of her children to the virus. Magda's two sisters and younger brother have already died, and her mother and uncle are also HIV positive. She died one month after this picture was taken.
