Despair, confusion and disbelief runs through small community in northwestern Cambodia hit by surge in HIV infections.
Roka commune, Cambodia - Sokha held the small bundle of paper in his trembling hands. Written on each sheet was information that no father should ever have to look upon.
He could barely bring himself to look at those papers again on Saturday.
On each was the name of one of his three children: the eldest, a 14-year-old boy; his two normally giggly girls aged 6 and 11, and his 46-year-old wife.
Those papers told him that all had tested positive for HIV.
A doctor who conducted the tests also told Sokha that his newborn infant son was likely infected too.


Though the source of the infections is not yet known, many residents are blaming one man: Yem Chrin, a local medical practitioner who received healthcare training in refugee camps in the 1980s and for the past 20 years has treated a vast array of illnesses for a large number of people in this community.
