An Associated Press review finds NIH funded research tested AIDS drugs on hundreds of foster children over two decades, mainly in the 1990s, often without required protections. Vulnerable youths, many poor or minority, received care from renowned researchers, while facing unknown child safety risks and potential side effects.
The FDA approved AIDS drugs for use in foster children across seven states and involved over four dozen studies. Foster youths from infancy to teens faced side effects and unclear safe dosages, with independent advocates often missing in trials. Illinois and New York records show few monitors despite oversight promises, while several institutions reported no advocates for wards. Authorities note about 10 percent of NIH funded pediatric AIDS study participants were in foster care.
The article examines foster children in AIDS drug studies, noting deaths in some cases but no recorded direct causation from treatments. Officials defend access to experimental therapies while ethicists urge independent advocates for each child. Illinois credits HIV positive foster care with a drop in deaths from 40 (1989) to 14 (since 1999).
