dc.description.abstract | Historically, in 1985 Kings Cross (KC) (Sydney, Australia) and the Harbour District (HD) (Santos, Brazil) had both the highest prevalence of blood-borne virus infection (BBVI) among injected drug users (IDU) in the country. By the end of the decade both districts released their first Harm Minimisation policy (HMP), including the Needle and Syringe Program (NSP). However, both programs had different outcomes. Shared successful policy historical experiences draw lessons for improvement. | en_AU |
