Three Infections.

HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis C are making many people sick—especially those who use drugs by injection. Some individuals may not be aware that they're infected, or may not feel safe visiting the doctor. In response, our team has set up small health tents in places where used needles are commonly found. At these pop-ups, people can get tested quickly, learn how to stay safe, and access support if they need it.
