Mark Goldberg of UN Dispatch is always up on the latest development news as he is fed directly from the United Nations. He posted a video related to Myanmar and writes: "Here is a fascinating —  and wonky —  video from UNICEF. It relates something I didn’t know: the largest number of new HIV infections is happening through spousal transmission."

Here is the posting: http://www.undispatch.com/one-myanmar-familys-fight-for-life-beyond-hiv#disqus_thread

And here is the vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UyLkYEoGz2c

We can't blame Mark for not knowing this. But it is incorrect.

The Myanmar HIV estimates and projections document downloadable from http://www.aidsdatahub.org/dmdocuments/Myanmar_HIV_Estimates_2010-2015.pdf shows that UNICEF has made a mistake. The bar graph on page eleven demonstrates many more infections among people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, and sex workers and their clients than 'low risk women', a euphemism for wives of clients of sex workers and low risk men.

The number and proportion of 'low risk women' is decreasing. Other graphics in this publication confirm the trajectory of the epidemic.

UNICEF should remove this inaccurate and wonky video from YouTube.
