What is 'dead space' and how does it play a role in reducing hepatitis C transmission among people who inject drugs? This step-by-step guide shows how low-dead space needles and syringes compare to other injecting equipment and why it matters to prevent new hepatitis C infections. This video has been developed in partnership with Coact, as part of the Innovate Involve Inspire: preventing hepatitis C through community-led harm reduction programme, funded by Unitaid. The research study programme in Egypt, Kyrgyzstan and Nigeria is led by Frontline AIDS alongside implementing partners.
