Zanoxolo, 9 year old HIV+, living in the large township of Khayelitsha in Cape Town, on Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2005. He lives with the mum, herself HIV+ and 2 brothers. After having almost died a year ago he successfully started to get better under an ARV drugs regime. He will have to do it for the rest of his life, without losing a day. If the therapy is interrupted now, the virus would soon develop in a new stronger form for which a more expensive second line treatment is required, and so on and on. Here allegedly around a 800.000 people live in extreme poverty, are subject to high levels of unemployment, gangsterism, abuse and above all the spread of HIV, emphasised by poverty, lack of knowledge and education, and scarce resources. **ITALY OUT**
