In December 2008, his wife reported that Than Naing has HIV and his health is deteriorating. She stated that prison authorities haven’t given him proper treatment.

**Timor-Leste
The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) reports that it is funding a new health initiative for prisoners at a Becora prison in Timor-Leste.
This project will provide quality services and accurate and updated information for the prisoners in the areas of HIV, AIDS and sexually transmitted infection. Its holistic approach to all prisoners and prison staff will also ensure a way for prisoners to move forward when they leave the prison. And there is a press release from UNFPA on that.
