don't look for any deep humanitarian basis there...you won't find it. AIDS is so rampant there it's simple economics. they want their employees to live as long as possible. retraining costs are a bitch *smirk*

these arent skilled laborers
at the most, a number of them are miners.

especially considered with the millions they will be spending on the drugs
