TANZANIAN HIV MOTHER GIVES HER SON V1 TABLET AT CLINIC IN THAI CAPITAL OF BANGKOK, 2002-07-17...

HIV-positive Tanzanian mother Grace gives her 20-month-old son Mecy a V-1 Immunitor anti-AIDS oral vaccine tablet at a clinic in Ban Bangpakong on the outskirts of Bangkok July 17, 2002. The woman says several months of the controversial drug have cured her son of HIV, a claim the drug's inventors say is backed up other successful cases. The drug, available in Thailand for more than a year at a cost of less than $20 per month, has not been tested to international standards and the claims of its manufacturers have not yet been accepted by health authorities.
