You are watching UNICEF Television.
00:00:00
A family struggling with HIV tries to cope with tragedy.
00:00:04
It's only been a few weeks since Ina, an HIV-infected mother, died of cancer.
00:00:09
Suhaimi now finds himself the sole parent to his own son and his late wife's three children,
00:00:15
including one with HIV.
00:00:21
I am the father, I am the mother. It's not easy to do this.
00:00:24
In the morning I need to prepare their breakfast, then I need to go to work.
00:00:30
Suhaimi also has HIV. Ina was his second wife,
00:00:35
a woman he met while working for an HIV-AIDS support group.
00:00:40
Suhaimi's first wife died in 2002.
00:00:44
It was then he learned she'd been HIV-positive and that he was also infected.
00:00:48
At the time, he was hooked on heroin and didn't even know he'd picked up the virus from shared needles.
00:00:54
Even before he passed HIV on to his wife, drugs were taking a heavy toll on his family.
00:01:01
When I was taking drugs, we were a family, but it was incomplete.
00:01:08
The love wasn't there. I didn't carry out my responsibilities for my child's basic needs.
00:01:13
Can you imagine, my son is sitting in front of me, and in front of my son I'm shooting drugs?
00:01:19
Injecting drug users are overwhelmingly the largest contributor to the spread of HIV and AIDS in Malaysia,
00:01:25
accounting for three-quarters of all cases in the country.
00:01:32
They bear a double stigma.
00:01:36
Not only dismissed as addicts or criminals,
00:01:38
they and their children are shunned by society and often their own families.
00:01:41
Suhaimi hopes his difficult experience can help others stuck in similar circumstances.
00:01:47
He now works for Positive Living, a network devoted to assisting HIV-positive people.
00:01:53
He feels his mission is to make sure his children can enjoy a normal life.
00:01:59
I'm not expecting huge things from my children.
00:02:06
My wish is that they become useful, don't become like me.
00:02:09
I want to give them a good education so they don't have a wasted life like mine.
00:02:13
You don't have to be rich. The most important thing is to have a happy family.
00:02:18
A simple hope in a family for whom what others take for granted seems like a dream.
00:02:23
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this is Steve Nettleton reporting for UNICEF Television.
00:02:29
Unite for Children.
