Drug abuse may make
users susceptible to AIDS

“THERE IS an astonishing record of recreational drug use among
AIDS patients,” says Cesar Caceres, a Washington, D.C. doctor who
specializes in treating AIDS patients.

“We find that 79 per cent of AIDS patients have been drug abusers."’

These statements appear in an article entitled Drugs and AIDS in a
recent issue of Listen magazine. ‘‘It appears that most AIDS patients
are not healthy people who got AIDS simply because they had sex with
the wrong person. The AIDS virus (HTLV-111) ... produces AIDS only
if the immune system is already weakened.”

Science has long shown that bad eating habits, poor hygiene, and ex-
cessive stress are factors that weaken the immune system. But now
research links drug use, including that of alcohol and tobacco, to the
loss of immunity.

Such a suppression of the immune system ‘‘clearly props the door
wide open for AIDS viruses,” says Dr. George F. Lewis of McMaster
University in Hamilton, Ontario.

The article supports both doctors’ conclusions with statistics showing
marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs hindering the ability of
the body to fight disease. This hinderance furthers the ability of the
AIDS virus to harm the immune system.

Those who live healthful lifestyles virtually assure themselves of a
strong defence against the AIDS virus. But “if you smoke, drink, or do
drugs,’’ says Dr. Caceres, “you will become susceptible if you come in
contact with any infectious disease.”’
