Elena Obieta

I graduated from medical school in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987. Since then I've been working as an infectious diseases physician in the field of HIV and TB in a poor suburban area.

Years ago I lost friends to AIDS and I am passionate about being a community-based activist and physician, with a particular interest in women and pregnancy. My work inspires me to report on the challenges faced by people living with HIV and the need for governments and decision makers to listen to their stories.
