Madura workers are AIDS free

SURABAYA, East Java: The local health authorities say a number
of Madura women workers who were deported from Brunei have been
tested negative for AIDS.

The workers were given the boot by the Brunei government
because they were believed to be carrying the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which causes AIDS.

The workers returned to their home town in Bangkalan in the
Madura island and underwent health tests. It turned out that they
were suffering from a common disease, the Antara news agency
reported. The report did not say how many were deported.

The health authorities are continuing to monitor their
condition. (pwn)
