UNAIDS“Globally, harm reduction services are not available at the level and scale that is required to end AIDS. And that’s true in the community and in prisons. In too many countries, they are not available at all.
Without continued access to HIV and harm reduction services, we will not end AIDS among people who use drugs and prison inmates, and we will therefore not end AIDS at ALL.
Key barriers to access to HIV and harm reduction services for people who use drugs and prisoners are criminalisation, stigma and discrimination.
We will not end inequalities and end AIDS without addressing these barriers and removing punitive laws and policies.”
