When 51-year old U Chit Ko Ko learned six years ago that he was HIV-positive he thought
his life was over. A friend encouraged him to visit FXB where counselling helped him to
overcome his fear and depression. He has since become an assistant social worker for this
NGO, where he coordinates a Sunday Empowerment Group to provide valuable support to a
growing, but often stigmatised section of the population.
In this film, the warm, funny and remarkably open U Chit tells his story and talks about the
role he now plays in helping other virus-positive people make the most of their lives.
