Hep C and Needle Exchange

It has been reported that another $25m has just been committed by the Fed Govt for more harm reduction measures for Hep C and HIV prevention. The evidence is that Hep C among IV drug
users eventually reaches saturation level indicating that needle exchange
is not making any difference. It must be obvious that stopping
injecting drugs is the only effective method to prevent transmission of
Hep C, not only among IV drug users but the people they have sex with,
especially when accompanied by STDs.

Its time they took responsibility for their behaviour (just as we all do
when we step outside the law and social norms) rather than seeking to
place it elsewhere, ie with everyone else, especially those who 'repress'
their preferred lifestyle.
