Frontline AIDS 224d ago

People who use drugs are at increased risk of hepatitis and HIV and injection-related injuries. But new needle and syringe technology could reduce new infections and change lives. The Innovate Involve Inspire: preventing hepatitis C through community-led harm reduction programme, funded by Unitaid, is a research study working with people who use drugs in Gombe State, Nigeria. The study will gather data and the voices of people who inject drugs about safer injecting equipment and how it is distributed. The programme in Nigeria is led by Frontline AIDS and implemented by Drug-Free and Preventive Healthcare Organisation (DAPHO) and Education as a Vaccine (EVA).
