Day 47: Great news from D.C.!
December 27, 2007
The Associated Press reports that D.C will needle exchange programs. I wrote about the ban on needle exchanges in the city earlier on Day 21. It’s about time needle exchanges were rolled out in the District. Maybe D.C. wouldn’t have the highest HIV prevalence in the US if Congress and the White House had not blocked the District from using funds to provide these programs in the 90s. Hopefully we will learn from this experience.
