What is the first thought that comes to mind when you think of the phrase "Needle Exchange Program"? Knitting needles???? i dunno





What do you believe Needle Exchanges do besides exchange contaminated syringes for sterile ones? ohhh ok now i know what your talking about. They probably have information available to the drug users on hiv/aids, drug abuse....etc





Do you think needle exchange programs are helpful in fighting HIV/AIDS? Yes, even if one life is saved it is worth it. I don't judge people especially if I have never walked a day in their shoes. Even if it is one homeless person or one prostitute who is saved then it is worth it, because I could be that homeless person or hooker one day.
Reply:HIV/AIDS is the first thing that comes to my mind. Always use the disposable needles for your safety. !!!

Nothing





Well, it can't hurt. If only one person is prevented from contracting aids, then think of all the people that that one person could/would infect. I am sure that more than one person has been saved by the programs and has avoided infecting others because of it.
Reply:1) The first thought that comes to my mind when I think of the Needle Exchange Program would be "prevention".


2) I believe that the program offers an opportunity for drug users to exchange their used needles one-on-one with sterile ones. I also believe that when you have face to face contact with a user, you then have the ability to talk with them, counsel them and hopefully provide them with much needed information in an effort to help them OFF the drugs.


3) I believe that this program can help in fighting HIV/AIDs if people are properly trained and work with the system and if research is conducted and made available to determine changes in individuals who receive these needles. I also believe that the community and clergy must be involved in order to help these individuals. I think that if you are a true drug addict - and needles are provided to you in exchange for your dirty needles - 1) they know who you are 2) it's still illegal 3) Drug-free is where your desire should be. I can't see a person looking at you face to face and 'giving' you a new needle without some shame and guilt. I would think you would want to be off drugs and here is that chance. The hope is that dirty needles are taken off the street and disposed of properly and our children and others are not contaminated.

promotes a way to try to remain AIDS/HIV free without attempting to correct the illegal drug use (something that hasn't proved effective)





Yes...it has proven to be very effective.
