25 kilometers outside of Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh, lies a village built by the government for HIV-infected patients and their families.
Come to be known as the "AIDS colony", in the past two months the government has relocated 47 families to live in its metal and wooden sheds.
With inadequate sanitation and no running water, the area is not a health sanctuary for HIV-infected patients, who require personal attention and care.
The government maintains it is taking care of patients by building new homes and offering healthcare and ownership rights previously unavailable.
But HIV-infected people living in the village say they have not received any official recognition of ownership rights nor government compensation for their old homes.
