Investigation Exposes How Zimbabwe Poultry Farmers Are Allegedly Feeding their Chickens HIV Antiretroviral Drugs
An investigation has uncovered the illegal use of human antiretroviral (ARV) medicines in Zimbabwe's poultry industry, where some broiler farmers are reportedly mixing the drugs into chicken feed and drinking water. The practice is allegedly aimed at reducing bird deaths, speeding up growth, and increasing profits, raising concerns about food safety and public health.
The investigation by the Southern Africa Accountability Journalism Project found that some farmers obtain ARVs through illegal channels before adding them to poultry feed. One farmer claimed the practice reduced flock losses and shortened the broiler production cycle from six weeks to four weeks. Zimbabwe's Medicines and Allied Substances Control Act prohibits the use of medicines intended for humans in food-producing animals without proper authorisation.
Experts interviewed during the investigation warned that residues of antiretroviral medicines in poultry products could pose risks to consumers, although there is no direct evidence that eating such chicken reduces the effectiveness of HIV treatment. The report also noted similar practices previously documented in Tanzania and Uganda, where researchers detected ARV residues in poultry feed, meat, and animal tissues, while no scientific studies have shown the drugs improve broiler growth.
The investigation further highlighted concerns over antimicrobial resistance caused by the misuse of human medicines in livestock, with the World Health Organization identifying antimicrobial misuse as a major global health threat. Researchers and veterinary professionals also warned that diverting ARVs from patients into illegal markets could place additional pressure on Zimbabwe's HIV treatment programme, prompting calls for stronger regulation, stricter enforcement, and greater awareness among poultry producers.
