Pobrita Tapa (40) mourns in agony, painful tears of frustration of a life wasting away, withering from HIV and a tumor. She cried, away from the eyes of her suffering husband who has been looking after her for weeks at the Pokhara hospital in Nepal. Losing any sense of hope, this mother of two was once an alcoholic and suspects that she got an HIV tainted blood in a transfusion years ago. Feeling alone and useless, the disease that eats up her body still gives her the strength to show firmness in front of her family.
