The street finds its own uses for things:
In Taiwan, a debt collection agency has started
employing HIV-positive patients as collectors, in order to
capitalise on public squeamishness. Not surprisingly, this stroke of
inventiveness is not without controversy:
Mr Tung said he had a contract with the management of a half-way house for
HIV and Aids patients, and would pay each one about $100 a day for visiting
debtors and urging them to pay.
