Supplies Safer Injecting

Supplies used for injecting drugs

• Needles, syringes, tourniquets, alcohol swabs, dry swabs

Supplies used for Drug PREPARATION

• BZK wipes, sterile water, cookers, and filters (vitamin C - optional)

Drug-injecting equipment should not be shared. This includes syringes, needles, cookers, filters, sterile water, alcohol swabs, dry swabs and tourniquets.

The smallest traces of blood can remain on used injection equipment, and if shared, can transmit infections like HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

If you are distributing Stericup or One-Use Cookers, there is one filter in each package. The Spoon cooker does not include a filter, so filter blister packs will be needed.
