How can I inject drugs safely?
People who inject drugs can place themselves at risk of HIV, hepatitis C and other blood borne viruses. Safe injecting practices can protect against infection. You should practice the following:
Use a sterile needle and syringe (fit) for every injection. If you are unable to access a clean needle, you can get safe injecting equipment through the 新州针头和注射器计划 or follow this Guide to Cleaning Used Syringes.
Always remember to use:
- New, sterile water
- New swabs (one for the spoon, one for the injecting site)
- Clean tourniquet
- New filter
- Clean spoon
-
Creating a clean environment
- Choose a safe environment to inject – Private, clean well-lit and with running water, if possible
- 擦拭用于制备药物的所有表面
- 注射前后，最好用肥皂水洗手
- Avoid all contact with anyone else’s blood, including blood you can’t see – Don’t help someone else to inject
- Get rid of needles and syringes in a sharps bin of fit pack immediately after use
- Use liquid bleach or another disinfectant to clean blood spills, contaminated surfaces, and equipment
- Be aware of how you can manage a needlestick injury if it happens
- 定期进行血液传播病毒（BBV）测试
