A case study contained within a lengthy World Health Organization report reviewing the health inequities among European countries says Greeks may be contracting HIV intentionally in order to go on public assistance.

According to the “case study” contained in the report “Review of social determinants and the health divide in the WHO European Region: final report,” while suicides, homicide, and thefts increased during the Greek economic crisis, so too did the rate of HIV infection — about half of which the report says were likely self-inflicted to obtain benefits.

“Suicides rose by 17% between 2007 and 2009 and to 25% in 2010, according to unofficial 2010 data (398),” the case study reads. “The Minister of Health reported a further 40% rise in the first half of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Suicide attempts have also increased, particularly among people reporting economic distress (610). Homicide and theft rates have doubled.

“HIV rates and heroin use have risen significantly, with about half of new HIV infections being self-inflicted to enable people to receive benefits of €700 per month and faster admission on to drug substitution programmes,” it continued.

Those poor people! See, the government should just put everybody on the dole so that the precious dearies won't have to make themselves sick to qualify for benefits.

The situation in Greece is being overblown.Yes it is bad because they were accustomed to live beyond their means but no where as bad as it is being portrayed in foreign media.

I'm not Greek. But I have heard that Greeks are very strong men. If I recall my history lessons correctly, Alexander the Great used Greece to beat off an entire Persian army.

You recall your history lessons wrong because Greece fell to his father.

Of course. Even the original story talks about an increase in IV drug use, which could increase the rate of HIV infection and AIDS.



“HIV rates and heroin use have risen significantly, with about half of new HIV infections being self-inflicted to enable people to receive benefits of €700 per month and faster admission on to drug substitution programmes,” it continued.
