Selected documents AP obtained in the investigation of nevirapine's use in Uganda (all are in PDF format):

•A nine-page letter send by the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Human Research Protections outlining problems which it said showed that HHS violated federal rules and patient protections.

•The Uganda site audit report by Westat Corp., paid by the NIH. The report notes among other things that several "adverse events...may not have been collected or reported in a timely manner."

•Shorthand minutes from a meeting on March 1, 2002 among top officials at the NIH as they reviewed the findings of auditors and doctors who had visited the Ugandan test site.

•A report Dr. Tramont put out summarizing the March 2002 Westat audit, pointing out that there is "no evidence that the study's scientific results are invalid."

•A report by drugmaker Boehringer Ingelheim critical of the Uganda trials. Of special note is the hand-written instruction on the first page by an NIH official directing the report "to be destroyed when audit is upon us."
