Join us on 30 July! Link to register in bio. #WorldHepatitisDay Australia’s Drug User Organisations were founded amidst the hepatitis C epidemic. Our pioneers, who experienced the impact of hepatitis C firsthand, laid the foundation for the programs and services we have today. Their leadership and insights continue to influence our daily efforts. As we move toward the goal of eliminating hepatitis C, we face the challenge of preserving and applying this invaluable knowledge to address future health threats. Join us to discuss how we can carry forward the lessons learned from our past to protect the health and freedom of our diverse community in the future.

El aumento de las sobredosis letales de opioides por nitazenos

The rise of fatal opioid overdoses from nitazenes in the illicit drug supply has raised significant concerns. Those in prison aren't afforded the same protections as the rest of the community. The period post-release is a high-risk time for overdose, with rates up to twenty times higher than the general population. Providing naloxone and training before release is crucial. “There are too few people getting naloxone when they leave prison,” says Ele Morrison, AIVL Deputy-CEO. “Governments must expand naloxone access and training in all prisons. Harm reduction measures must be implemented urgently.”“Nitazenes in prisons are a disaster waiting to happen,” says AADC CEO Melanie Walker. “We must ensure custodial officers have naloxone and are trained to use it.”Link in Bio :)#AIVL #HarmReduction #OverdosePrevention #Naloxone #PrisonReform #SaveLives
