Battjes, R. J., & Pickens, R. W. (1989). Needle sharing among intravenous drug abusers : national and international perspectives (R. J. Battjes, R. W. Pickens, H. W. Haverkos, W. Hopkins, H. W. Feldman, P. Biernackl, et al., Eds.). Rockville: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration; National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
Abstract: Papers review findings emanating from the May 18-19 conference on ’Needle Sharing Among Intravenous Drug Abusers: National and International Perspectives’ held in Bethesda, Maryland. Topics include epidemiological data regarding AIDS and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among intravenous drug abusers in the United States and Europe and drug abuse and injection practices among intravenous drug abusers in New York City, San Francisco, and the Southwest region of the United States. Papers address the implications of drug policy in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, for controlling needle sharing, the influence of AIDS upon drug use practices in the United Kingdom, and that country’s efforts to make sterile injection equipment readily available. Additional papers focus on the implications for AIDS prevention among intravenous drug abusers in France; review of Federal and State laws regulating the availability and use of hypodermic needles and syringes within the U.S.; and consider implications of legislation and enforcement practices for the prevention of AIDS transmission. It was recommended that communities across the United States implement programs to educate addicts about their risk for AIDS and ways to reduce it and that resources be expanded so drug abuse treatment is readily available.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (1998). Recommendations for prevention and control of hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection and HCV-related chronic disease (Vol. 47). Atlanta: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Abstract: These recommendations are an expansion of previous recommendations for the prevention of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection that focused on screening and follow-up of blood, plasma, organ, tissue, and semen donors (CDC. Public Health Service inter-agency guidelines for screening donors of blood, plasma, organs, tissues, and semen for evidence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C. MMWR 1991;40No. RR-4;1-17). The recommendations in this report provide broader guidelines for a) preventing transmission of HCV; b) identifying, counseling, and testing persons at risk for HCV infection; and c) providing appropriate medical evaluation and management of HCV-infected persons. Based on currently available knowledge, these recommendations were developed by CDC staff members after consultation with experts who met in Atlanta during July 15-17, 1998. This report is intended to serve as a resource for health-care professionals, public health officials, and organizations involved in the development, delivery, and evaluation of prevention and clinical services.
