HIV Infected Patient Refused Care In Armenia
HIV-Infected Patient Refused Care In Armenia
Marine, not her real name, reached out to doctors when the pain became unbearable and surgery seemed the only answer.
"I could barely walk, I had no strength anymore after losing so much weight. My bones were completely exhausted.... I couldn't stand the pain any longer," she recently told RFE/RL's Armenian Service.
Three doctors she contacted in Yerevan, Armenia's capital, for possible gastrointestinal surgery refused to treat her, she said, before a fourth agreed.
Marine, from a small town near the capital, is convinced the reason for the rejections was her HIV status. The only NGO in Armenia dealing with the rights of people with HIV says that her case is not an isolated one amid what it says is widespread prejudice in the largely conservative South Caucasus country.
