White, rural drug users lack needle exchange programs to prevent HIV infections
 
Needle-sharing by opiate addicts is placing rural white communities at much greater risk of new HIV infections than ever before, and the United States doesn’t have enough syringe programs in place to address the problem, according to a federal report released Tuesday.

Although needle exchange programs have been politically controversial for decades, studies have demonstrated their public health benefits in dramatically reducing the rate of HIV transmission and risk of hepatitis infections among injection drug users without increasing the rate of illegal drug use.

The new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that use of these programs has increased substantially during the past decade, but most people who inject drugs still don’t always use sterile needles. Sharing needles and syringes is a direct route of transmission for HIV and hepatitis B and C viruses.

As a result, decades of progress in reducing HIV spread by dirty needles is being threatened. People who would not have been considered at risk for these infections are now vulnerable, especially white people living in predominantly rural areas of the country, including Appalachia, rural parts of New England and the Ozarks.

You saw "white" and "rural" and your mental processes ceased and kicked into reaction mode, didn't they?

Since you liberals are so compassionate, why don't you visit these rural places & deliver needles?  Or let them move in with you?

You can buy syringes over the counter

https://www.walgreens.com/topic/faq/questionandanswer.jsp?questionTierId=700020&faqId=7700001

opps, used the operative word "buy" the opposite of free.  Therefore because they are not free, a new HIV epidemic is on the horizon.  BTW, they are a hell of a lot cheaper than a gram of Heroin.  Just have to identify priorities.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

So a black president is killing white people.

Rural IV drug users sharing needles? Isn't that vanishingly close to an oxymoron?

Sounds like some bureaucrat is trying to mountainize an anthill of dubious existence into a faux-crisis with which the MSM can club Trump.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I work in a hospital, and I've seen a lot more people die from heroin overdoses than from AIDS.  Tell me DUmmies, are you also going to be sure to provide free condoms to every IV drug addict as well so that they won't contract AIDS while turning tricks to get money for drugs, or straight up trading sex for drugs?

I mean, we're told 24/7 that we're too selfish.  Why would we share anything?   :whistling:

Are we going to bring free booze to alcoholics so they don`t drive to stores to get it too?
