You are watching UNICEF television. 00:00:00
For these children, HIV has brought death, discrimination and separation. 00:00:03
This is the one place where it brings them together. 00:00:11
It is a special home for children affected by HIV and AIDS in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur. 00:00:14
Most of the 14 boys and girls here have lost one or both parents. 00:00:22
Some have been abandoned. 00:00:27
Many are themselves infected. 00:00:29
Twelve-year-old Putri came here in December. 00:00:33
Her poor health, too big a burden for her grandmother, who also had to support two teenage girls. 00:00:36
Putri is too sick to go to school, but she tries to continue her studies from this home. 00:00:43
She says her dream in life is to get cured. 00:00:49
I sometimes feel scared and anxious. I don't know why. 00:00:53
Sometimes I feel sad. I miss my parents. I miss my family. 00:00:58
At least a thousand children are known to be infected with HIV in Malaysia, 00:01:03
and there are probably at least hundreds more who are HIV positive but may not have been tested. 00:01:08
With women accounting for a larger proportion of new HIV cases, it is feared that number will grow. 00:01:15
Already there has been a six-fold increase in the rate of new infections by mothers 00:01:22
transmitting the virus to their babies since 1991. 00:01:27
It's an upward spiral that need not continue. 00:01:31
Malaysia has stepped up efforts to prevent infection from mother to child. 00:01:35
Pregnant women who visit government clinics are tested for HIV 00:01:39
and those found positive are given free counseling and antiretroviral drugs to keep the virus at bay. 00:01:43
Their newborn babies are also put on drug treatment and given regular tests for HIV. 00:01:50
Siti is hopeful the program has spared her children from the scourge of HIV. 00:01:57
Siti was infected with HIV by her husband, who has since died. 00:02:03
She only learned she had the virus once she was pregnant with her fourth child, Farid, who is now five years old. 00:02:08
When I realized I was HIV positive and pregnant, I lost all sense of hope. 00:02:16
I was afraid I was going to pass this virus to my baby, 00:02:22
but the medical team explained that they were going to give me medicine to save my baby. 00:02:25
It was only after this I started feeling happier with life, 00:02:29
when I was told there was hope to prevent my unborn baby from getting HIV. 00:02:33
With treatment, Farid was born free of the virus. 00:02:38
Four years later, Siti again became pregnant with her youngest daughter, Min. 00:02:42
Now nine months old, Min has also tested negative for HIV, 00:02:47
but it won't be until she is two years old that doctors can be certain she is not infected. 00:02:52
Making sure more women have access to treatment brings hope that fewer children will have to grow up in refuges like this, 00:02:57
sparing them a childhood burdened by sickness and stigma. 00:03:05
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this is Steve Nettleton reporting for UNICEF Television. 00:03:11
