  • Title: Link needle swaps to treatment on demand, advocate says.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1998 Nov 27; 13(21):7. PubMed ID: 11366039.
    Abstract:
    Terry Anderson, the new director of policy for the National Association of People with AIDS, says that advocates of needle-exchange programs need to change their messages to include the need for drug rehabilitation. Needle-exchanges help addicts in the short term, but they do not stop the cycle of substance abuse. If the concepts of needle-exchange and treatment on demand are linked, the goal of reducing substance abuse related harm becomes more plausible.
