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.
