Swaziland: In Swaziland, HIV Hides in Plain Sight

Read the obituaries in Swaziland, and you will discover that many people here die from unspecified "lingering illnesses". Attend funerals, and you may hear that tuberculosis, dysentery, diarrhea – even flu – are also proving surprisingly lethal. Virtually no-one, it seems, is dying of AIDS. This is despite the fact that an HIV prevalence of 38.8 percent has given Swaziland the highest AIDS infection rate in the world.
