Russia 2007
Tolya, 18, sits on his bed at Botkin Hospital in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Wednesday, September 12, 2007. Tolya uses heroin and is HIV-positive, but because he lives in Syevolosk, near St. Petersburg, rather than in the city proper, he is not entitled to free anti-retroviral medication to treat his HIV. Tolya is an orphan living with his uncle, who does not know Tolya has HIV.
