Anti-retroviral drugs used to treat HIV/AIDS are being bought and smoked by South African teenagers to get high.
The South African Broadcasting Corporation created a documentary investigating this issue, and found that HIV/AIDS drugs are being sold by both patients and medical staff for money. Schoolchildren, often in their uniforms, have been found across the country smoking HIV anti-retrovirals, which are ground into a fine powder and are occasionally mixed with painkillers or marijuana. Additionally, some HIV/AIDS patients have been found smoking their drugs, instead of taking them as prescribed.
