AIDS is putting an ancient culture at risk as the disease spreads in the remote Orinoco Delta of Venezuela. HIV is believed to have killed hundreds of the Warao indigenous people, and already, deaths and the flight of survivors have gutted at least 1 village. Even under the best of circumstances, it might be difficult to control the disease’s spread in such an isolated and deprived area. But the government has ignored the issue, medical specialists and Warao community leaders say, leaving the population to face a profound existential threat alone. The epidemic is a crisis within a crisis, a dramatic example of how #Venezuela is failing to grapple with a resurgent #AIDS emergency even as the annual number of new #HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths around the world continues to decline. Researchers say the epidemic could be “devastating” for the Warao people. “If there’s no intervention, it’s going to affect the existence of the Warao," said Dr. Jacobus de Waard, an expert in infectious diseases. “A part of the population is going to disappear.” @meridithkohut took this photo of Eleuterio González, a wisidatu, or shamanic healer, performed a healing ritual on Rosainy Salazar, who had suffered from headaches for months.
