Look after your blood, never share needles

More and more of our mob are getting HIV and hepatitis C. This can have a big effect on the individual, the family, and the community. If people inject drugs and share needles, they put themselves at risk. I watched my own father die from hepatitis C. If you’ve ever injected drugs, go to see your doctor or your health clinic for an HIV and hepatitis C test. Treatments are available. Come on, look after your blood. Never share needles.
