As featured on "Foreign Exchange with Daljit Dhaliwal." Once a poster child for living HIV+ in Jamaica, Annesha Taylor knows firsthand that life after a positive diagnosis is not an easy one.

House Call in Hell

This video takes you inside the walls of one of the worst prisons in the Western hemisphere.

After this video was taken, USAID authorized $200,000 in emergency funding for health and sanitation improvements.
