Hundreds of HIV+ Foster Children in NYC Subjected to Experimental Drug Trials

Amy Goodman reports:

"New York City's child welfare department opens an investigation into whether they forced HIV positive children in foster care to submit to experimental AIDS drug trials. We speak with the commissioner for New York's Administration for Children's Services, New York City councilman Bill Perkins and Vera Sharav of the Alliance for Human Research Protection.

"Last December, Democracy Now reported that a BBC documentary exposed how the city of New York had been forcing HIV-positive children under its supervision to be used as human guinea pigs in tests for experimental AIDS drug trials. "
