The attached pamphlet in Burmese was published by the National AIDS Programme. The UNAIDS logo also appears. What do you think of it? Your comments are welcome.

If you use the internet in Burma / Myanmar please read this article and then go on to the bottom of the posting for a few new and old suggestions on circumventing the restrictions.

The [him] moderator is sorry about posting incorrect information as published in the Nation. http://www.hivinfo4mm.org/blog/_archives/2007/2/18/2725605.html Thanks to the Mae Tao Clinic for pointing out the error.

Readers of the Burmese language can read Nightingale magazine from the Mae Tao clinic. http://www.maetaoclinic.org/ntg_home.html

If you download Torpark and put it on a flash drive (USB drive, thumb drive) you can then plug it into any computer connected to the internet to enjoy anonymous browsing from a confidential set of proxies.

Those who blame Burma for spreading HIV in the region use data like this to pose arguments similar to those that blamed Haiti for spreading HIV to North America twenty five years ago.

The [him] moderator finds it amusing that anyone would call the Mae Tao clinic 'destitute'. Read about 'Pfizer's man dispensing on the wild frontier'.

Dr Picard has not mentioned that it is necessary for patients to have valid Mandalay citizenship cards in order to enroll in this ART programme so that migrants are excluded.
