Crack cocaine smoking increases risk of HIV

October 19, 2009
The Canadian Press
TORONTO - A new study suggests people who smoke crack cocaine have a dramatically increased risk of becoming infected with HIV.

Those who reported smoking crack cocaine daily were about four times more likely to become infected with the virus that causes AIDS than drug-using peers who smoked crack less often or not at all.

Researchers looked at 1,048 drug users in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside who were HIV-negative, and found 137 of them had contracted the virus by the end of the study nine years later.

Researchers say the findings point to an urgent need for innovative harm-reduction programs like distribution of crack kits and provision of safe inhalation rooms for crack-cocaine smokers.

Principal investigator Dr. Evan Wood of the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV-AIDS says the researchers were not able to determine the exact link between crack smoking and HIV.

Sometimes science can be so wrong.

The skewed lefties of the world have a safe haven in Canada.

Canadians will do any kind of spineless leftie shit to try and be politically correct, even if it ends up achieving just the opposite.

It's the thought that counts, eh.
