Living with Tuberculosis in Rio
Flávio de Oliveira Pires, 34, leans against the door in his kitchen as he cooks lunch. He is a DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course) patient at Gustavo Capanema Family Health Center in Elis Regina. He did not show up at the clinic to receive medicine, so the nurses went to his house to hand it in. He and his girlfriend broke up when their daughter was only one year old, and he could not live with her because of his health conditions.
