In 1987 experimental schemes for distributing injecting equipment to intravenous drug users to help prevent the spread of the human immunodeficiency virus were started by the government. After six months the schemes were found to have been reasonably successful in attracting clients but were less successful in keeping them. It has been shown that equipment can be distributed to drug users on an exchange basis. Many of the clients who were attracted to these schemes had had no treatment or other help for their drug problems.
1987年,政府启动了向静脉注射吸毒者分发注射设备以帮助预防人类免疫缺陷病毒传播的实验计划。六个月后,发现这些计划在吸引客户方面相当成功,但在留住客户方面不太成功。事实证明,可以在交换的基础上向吸毒者分发设备。许多被这些计划吸引的客户在解决毒品问题方面没有接受过治疗或其他帮助。
