Safer injecting
Wash your hands and clean the injection site
- Choose a quiet, safe place to inject
- Ensure the surfaces you prepare on are clean
- Whenever possible, use a sterile spoon and dry, clean filter available from needle exchange services and PIP PAC
- Avoid torn filters or exposed fibres as they can end up being injected and cause problems
- Never share your injecting equipment
- If you have to re-use equipment make sure it’s yours
- Use a sharps bin whenever possible. If not available improvise; eg: use a plastic drinks bottle with cap
- Only recap needles if a sharps bin or alternative is not available
- It’s always best to only recap your own needle to avoid risk of infection
- Take your sharps bin to a needle exchange for safe disposal
