Imagine that the populations of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles are HIV positive. Imagine that 6,500 of these people die every day from this treatable, preventable disease. Grasp the magnitude of this scenario, and you have a good handle on the profound tragedy that is AIDS in Africa. You will also seize the issues that the American and Kenyan staff of AMPATH grapples with each and every day.
Art photographer Tyagan Miller, who works at the IU Foundation, recently had the opportunity to travel to Kenya to visit and to photograph those involved in the IU-Kenya Partnership, a program of the Indiana and Moi universities' schools of Medicine.
See the awesome photos here. Very powerful and painful.
