Merck Defamation Loss Over AIDS Drug Brochure Photo
New York prosecutors say Merck & Co and Harrison & Star lost a defamation suit for misusing a woman’s photo in a brochure for Crixivan. The brochure depicted her as a 19 year old with two children and claimed she had AIDS and herpes from sexual promiscuity. In reality she is a suburban mother in her mid-30s who did not have herpes and contracted HIV from her husband.
