| Clients: | We recognize that change is hard. Successful change depends on people making changes at their own speed. We celebrate any positive steps to reduce drug-related harm, no matter how small. For people who use needles for drugs, using clean syringes and other supplies for every injection is one very positive step toward reducing their risk of getting HIV and Hepatitis C. For people who have taken risks with sex (such as unprotected sex with someone they do not know, someone who is an injection drug user, or someone who is infected with HIV or AIDS), getting tested for HIV and taking steps to protect oneself is a step toward protecting their health. |
