INDIA: AIDS

Leinhmar, 30, has been injecting drugs for 16 years and is now HIV positive. He originally started because of peer pressure and says even though he wants to he can't stop.  He used to work as a rickshaw driver but can no longer walk because of abscesses on his legs.  AIDS rates are quite high in Northeast India due to drug use and needle-sharing.
