- Needle_sharing abstract "Needle sharing is the practice of intravenous drug-users by which a syringe is shared by multiple individuals to administer intravenous drugs, and is a primary vector for diseases which can be transmitted through blood (blood borne pathogens).From the years 1933 to 1943, addiction malaria was spread between users in the New York City area by this method. Afterward, the use of quinine as a cutting agent became common.Needle-exchange programmes, a form of harm reduction policy, provide new needles to persons addicted to drugs in exchange for used ones in order to help control the spread of disease. In the United States, there are three distinct prohibitions on needle exchange programs at the federal level — the Ryan White CARE Act, the [[Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration]] (SAMHSA) authorization, and the 1997 Labor-Health and Human Services (HHS) Education appropriations legislation. However, many states still provide the service despite the federal legislation, especially in large cities where intravenous drug use is a major health concern. An examination of a New York State accepted that NEP discovered that throughout 12 months a roughly calculated 87 infections of HIV were prevented as an exact consequence of needle sharing. Also NEP has decreased the number of HIV being spread by one third to two fifths.".
