South African AIDS patients in Durban are under siege from drug addicts who rob them of their antiretroviral treatment to get high, the provincial health department said Wednesday.

The life prolonging drug Stocrin, one of the antiretroviral drugs used to fight AIDS, is reportedly crushed and mixed with marijuana and sold in the townships around the coastal city.

The health department has warned that the trend could spark shortages in the city's hospitals and health centres, in one of the provinces worst afflicted by the AIDS pandemic.

Sounds great; instead of contributing to the overpopulation in Africa, people use the AIDS medication as drugs to support natural selection. As long as we protect the people who spread the virus, we'll not only let the AIDS mania continue, but these victims will have a prolonged life and be able to reproduce, which means their offspring mosty likely carries the same virus. If Africa wants to control AIDS, it needs to prevent carriers from having children--and if it's serious about protecting its environment, it will deny aid from the West and focus on curbing its population numbers.
