Thousands of Aids and HIV patients are risking their lives by refusing medication in favour of holy water. The controversial treatment is offered by a church in Ethiopia which claims to have cured hundreds of believers.
The church claims that more than a thousand people have been cured in the past two years. Head priest Father Geberemedhen says "We don't allow patients to take medication if they want to receive holy water". That means they must stop taking the antiretrovirals which prevent the disease taking hold, and prolong the life of those who carry the HIV virus.
