Why support Needle and Syringe Programs? Slide 5.7 Research demonstrates that needle and syringe programs in Australia have prevented · 25,000 HIV infections · Hepatitis C infections over the past 10 years By 2010 they will have also prevented 4,500 AIDS deaths and saved a minimum of an estimated $2.4 billion in public health funding Source: Returns on Investment in Needle and Syringe Programs Report ANCD 2002

Slide 5.8 To help reduce the transmission of HIV facilities (such as NSP outlets) need to operate - unhindered - unimpeded - unhampered How can Police help support these programs?

Slide 5.9 Methadone is the most widely researched and commonly used substitution pharmacotherapy for people dependent on opiate substances such as heroin. It is long acting (from 24 – 36 hours) and is taken orally once a day. When administered within proper guidelines, it effectively prevents withdrawal symptoms and stops the ‘cravings’ normally experienced by people dependent on opiates. Research shows long term methadone maintenance treatment is effective in the prevention of HIV transmission by reducing risk taking behaviour that leads to the spread of HIV, specifically injecting drugs and sharing injecting equipment.
