Absolutely not! The spread of diseases like Hepatitis, HIV, and AIDS can be directly related to the sharing of needles. Every states Public Health Department spends thousands of dollars studying the incidents of diseases spread from shared needles. The records show a reduction in the spread of disease in people who partake in needle distribution programs.

The needle exchange is not dangerous. It is to help stop the spread oh HIV and Hep c. You give them your dirty needles and they give you clean needles that are still in the wrapper. They also give you a cooker, clean water,and clean cotton.

I presume you mean the needle exchange schemes for IV drug abusers. Of course it's not dangerous; it reduces the likelihood of needle sharing and so helps prevent the spread of HIV, Hepatitis etc.

No the sharing of needles by addicts who dont have access to clean needles is dangerous.
