Summary

Note: Topic descriptions are intended to be a search aid rather than an authoritative or complete definition.

Details

This topic encompasses policy relating to people who use hypodermic needles to inject drugs, particularly illegal drugs such as narcotics and steroids, for a purpose that deviates from the drug’s intended use. Published documents include references to HIV and other blood-borne disease prevention measures and harm reduction programs both as components of general national HIV or drug strategies and more specific initiatives.
