There's a beautiful, heartsmashing short film on The Guardian's site; Melvin And His Sister: A gay Kenyan's struggle to survive.
Melvin is a male prostitute bringing up his 8 year-old sister in a shack in Kenya's capital Mombasa - both their parents died from Aids-related illnesses five years ago.
We also hear from health workers, a gay campaigner, and a supportive church leader - though no Radio 1 DJs.
Made by Guardian Films as part of a series highlighting Christian Aid's Poverty Over campaign, readers are invited to take part in a live webchat about how health and discrimination impact on global poverty with representatives from Christian Aid at 1pm.
