PORTFOLIO: TB in Belarus: Ludmila

I want to get outside, to go outdoors. I know I can’t, it’s a forbidden zone. I’m tired of being here. Ludmila. Ludmila , 59, from Minsk, is a widow. She is at the institute in severe conditions. She has HIV and tuberculosis. She worked as an assistant in a shop and a waitress in restaurants. She does not know how she was contaminated by TB. Ludmila is too weak to walk, so she stays in bed. Her son visits her occasionally.
