• Abandoned Children with Hiv Face Uncertain Future in Russia

She's blissfully unaware - and there's surely no reason to tell her - that her heroin-addicted mother abandoned her at birth.

Cristina is just the tiniest part of Russia's HIV/AIDS catastrophe, the virtually unchecked horror that's turning the old Soviet Union into the new southern Africa.

While the information you offered was accurate, there are many other reasons not to abandon an animal.
