A growing number of Greek residents have injected themselves with HIV so they can claim about $950 in monthly health benefits, according to a report commissioned by the World Health Organisation.
The report, Review of social determinants and the health divide in the WHO European Region, found cases of self-inflicted HIV infections in Greece, as the population continues to grapple with a deeply troubled economy.
The country’s suicide rate has also skyrocketed, while healthcare access has declined.
