Is it okay to take 'party drugs' to forget about HIV?

I think party drugs are a path that people sometimes take, HIV positive or not, that never leads to a good place. I never hear stories about HIV sufferers who get involved with illicit drugs getting job promotions or making great friends, meeting great people. I always hear those stories end in desperation and despair for the HIV sufferer. Drugs, especially white powder drugs, are always a dead end street. They never improve your health, HIV positive or not. They never improve your life, HIV positive or not. They only distract you from the business of living. I see a lot of people who are HIV-positive, especially newly diagnosed people, drift off into drug abuse and it never ends well. Drug abuse is never a road that would lead you to health and happiness.
