The Vienna Declaration summary statement: The criminalization of illicit drug users is fueling the HIV epidemic and has resulted in overwhelmingly negative health and social consequences. A full policy reorientation is needed.
What this states is the war on drugs has failed. The War of Drugs is actually the Prohibition of Drugs. "Prohibition" of alcohol failed (from 1920-1933) and was started by the religious (and it failed also), so why would the war on drugs work? It simply has not worked and will never work.
However, what has been proven time and time again (which the masses don't know) is that HIV research has advanced the medical world by leaps and bounds. HIV research has helped all people under a doctor's care whether they know or not.
HIV research has compiled lots of statistics the world don't even know about. For example, there are many women who have anal sex. It has been learned that women won't admit to their doctors that they have annal sex, the reason? Condoms aren't needed and no babies are made. So the man has hotter sex and the woman does not get pregnant.
Worldwide half of the people who have HIV are women. It's now half men and half women. So, it turns out that there are all sorts of bisexual men transmitting HIV to women through annal sex. Now we know there are more bisexual men, than people thought.
If it wasn't for gay activists pushing for new drug therapies for HIV, world health care would be in a much worse position.
Again, HIV research has shown that the "War on Drugs" is helping to spread HIV, to both men and women. It's not a gay disease, in case you forgot. The Vienna Declaration is asking for signatures. You can do this by following either link below.
