Siphiwe Hlophe is so huge that when I came to give her a hug to say goodbye I couldn't get my arms round her. "Well, at least you don't have Aids;" I said. That sounds an appalling thing to say, but in Swaziland Aids is such an overwhelming fact of life--and death--that people who work on Aids projects make jokes about it all the time. Hlophe laughed. "But I am HIV-positive," she said, as straight as a bullet.
