World Aids Day: Tackling HIV in Myanmar

Myanmar, the country formerly known as Burma, is opening its borders, with trade and tourism increasing at unprecedented levels.

Access has been helped by a surge in road building, connecting the once isolated country to the rest of south-east Asia.

But concern that increased openness makes Myanmar more vulnerable to HIV has prompted awareness campaigns targeted at its large migrant worker population, as Nick Wood reports.

This is part of a special season of Health Check films marking World Aids Day on 1 December.
