HIV/AIDS is spreading at frightening speed in former Soviet Central Asian Republics like Tajikistan.

Was formerly alcohol the preferred way to distance oneself from this all, the proximity of Tajikistan to neighbouring heroin producing Afghanistan makes drugs readily available and dangerously cheap.
