J. M. KESTEN ; R. AYRES ; J. NEALE ; J. CLARK ; P. VICKERMAN ; M. HICKMAN ; S. REDWOOD |Background: It is recommended that needle and syringe programmes (NSP) distribute low dead space syringes (LDSS) to reduce blood-borne virus transmission. We explored the acceptability of detachable LDSS among people who inject drugs (PWID) and [...]Nouveauté

MATTICK ; M. LYNSKEY |BACKGROUND: Globally, an estimated 15.6 million people inject drugs. We aimed to investigate global variation in the age profile of people who inject drugs (PWID), identify country-level factors associated with age of PWID, and assess the associ[...]![]()

Aims: To investigate the impact of scaling-up opiate substitution therapy (OST) and high coverage needle and syringe programmes (100%NSP - obtaining more sterile syringes than you inject) on HCV prevalence among injecting drug users (IDUs). De[...]![]()

BACKGROUND: Interventions such as opiate substitution therapy (OST) and high-coverage needle and syringe programs (HCNSP) cannot substantially reduce hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence among people who inject drugs (PWID). HCV antiviral treatmen[...]![]()

Studies published by Zule and colleagues have suggested that use of low dead-space syringes (LDSS) instead of high dead-space syringes (HDSS) by injecting drug users (IDUs) could dramatically reduce HIV transmission. However, evidence is limited[...]![]()
