Sasha the Con

It was weird when I met him again - he is the same guy as the one I photographed at the arresting scene... So, we wondered what the hell was going on. Well, his wife is giving a birth soon, and he is allowed to stay with her for a while. And, after the baby is born, he is supposed to go back to the prison. He is actually pretty nice, and let me follow him.

HIV Endemic

There are a lot of families who are all infected with HIV in Ukraine. Some people with HIV don't think much about what would happen. Some people are in self-denial to accept the fact that they have HIV. But, if those people make children, they will be born with HIV.
