Should Cities Fund Needle Exchange Programs?
Nearly one-in-five new HIV cases are the result of drug users sharing dirty needles, an extrodinarily high number. Some cities have attempted to combat the epidemic by giving free clean needles to addicts in exchange for used ones. These programs are highly controversial in the U.S., with many insisting such programs encourage drug use and increase crime. Should your community be funding needle exchange programs?








seems like they want to promote it
Because some wont go to rehab.
Needle exchange is a good program,as long as we keep it out of the govt.hands.
