A very south african story ...

Crime, drugs and HIV - any country come to mind?

This story is from an area that I work in - its postcard-picture-perfect with rondavels straight out of a No 1 Ladies Detective agency book and has hills covered in romantic mistiness .... but sadly bugger all else to do but drink and have sex .... which would explain the massive rates of HIV ...

And so the local thieves have caught upon a new way to help while away days in tropical heaven .... you steal the ARV drugs from patients with AIDS (cunningly too weak to fight back) as they leave the ARV clinic .... and you smoke them with weed - which apparently give you a better high than anything else on the local market .... and then hope that it protects you from catching the HIV too .... genius ....
