Prostitute Ocadia Ramirez, waits to receive an experimental HIV vaccine in Santo Domingo, Jan. 10, 2006. Some 175 Dominican prostitutes are among 3,000 people in eight countries testing an experimental Merck & Co. vaccine against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The women, who travel hours from the Dominican countryside to be injected, do not know if they are receiving the experimental serum or a placebo. (AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa) Ramon Espinosa
