When you walk around in a country in which 20% are infected with aids and daily see aids funerals, you don't know if people are sick from aids or something else. And you don't ask. But in an unusual number of homes I visited I saw people lying sick - although rarely emaciated as it seems that this last phase goes extremely fast here.
