Considering one in five ____________ develop HIV, a needle exchange program can have a dramatic impact on bringing the global epidemic under control.
HIV can be transmitted between injecting drug users if the drug equipment, such as needles, syringes, or rinsing water is contaminated by HIV-infected fluids (usually blood) and is then reused by another person without first sterilizing it. Approximately 10 percent of new infections worldwide result from the sharing of drug use paraphernalia. Needle exchange programs are an effective policy to curb the spread of blood-borne viruses such as HIV and hepatitis C among injection drug users (IDUs). Considering one in five injecting drug users develop HIV, needle exchange programs can have a dramatic impact on bringing the global epidemic under control. Unfortunately, the implementation of needle exchange programs is hampered by public opposition due to moral reasons.
