Aids on rise among Haiti''s displaced

It has been 100 days since a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti, killing more than 200,000 people and leaving 1.5 million others homeless.

With millions of people unemployed and living on the streets, there has been a rise in prostitution of as much as 20 per cent, leading to fears of a significant rise in Aids cases.

Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reports from Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital.
