World Weddings: Mohammad & the Matchmaker

Parthisan

Maryam is just 21, from a small town outside Kermanshah in north western Iran. She contracted HIV from her husband - a heroin addict who recently died. Mohammad, an ex-addict has been clean of heroin for three years. He attends regular Narcotics Anonymous meetings and is trying to build a new life, living with HIV.

Two doctors, both brothers from a well-off family in Kermanshah, are trying to help addicts and HIV patients all over the country. Their activity has been recognised in Europe, US, and Thailand.

Watch this story tonight (Wednesday 16 June) at 22:00 on BBC Two.
