ODESSA, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 27 2004: Pictured is
Peter, he is 10years old and is HIV +ve. He lost his right arm when he fell
off the back of a tram. He is begging on the streets trying to get enough
money for his next injection. He lives in a derelict shed with a 'family' or
group of street kids in Odessa, Ukraine. They spend every conscious moment
craving an injection of home made Trifed or Effidrine. There are about 20
kids in the group who's ages range from 6 to 17 years. A small local
organisation called the Way Home has been trying to have the kids tested for
HIV. Alarmingly 75% of those tested are HIV +ve. Images.
