AIDS Drug Sold In Clubs With Viagra, Ecstasy
Health Officials Concerned Over Unsafe Sex Practices

UPDATED: 11:29 am EST December 20, 2005

BALTIMORE -- Clubbers who buy an AIDS drug thinking they can prevent the virus may be buying into a risky proposition.

Some health officials have concerns over what they said is a growing trend in dance clubs, particularly gay establishments, reported WBAL-TV in Baltimore.

The Los Angeles Times reported Monday that people are selling a combination of the AIDS drug tenofovir with other drugs, including Viagra and Ecstasy. Health officials said those "Taking a T," as it's known, may actually buy into a misconception that the drugs will protect them from HIV and AIDS.

Health officials in California said the recent club trend concerns them because scientific evidence does not support any sort of claims that the drug prevents against HIV transmission.

2. Well, the reason the AIDS drugs are sold around Ecstasy is probably
that, from what I've heard, AIDS drugs amplify the effects of the Ecsatsy.
