Is the nevershare promoting

syringe re-use?

– NO!

Like other syringes, the nevershare
syringe is intended for single use.
There is a clear ‘for single use’ symbol
on every one.

BUT, many syringes are being re-used. This combined
with the common practice of ‘batch preparation’ of
drugs means that accidental sharing is a major
cause for concern.

To prevent the spread of hepatitis and HIV we must
do everything we can to:

• increase the supply of injecting equipment
  and paraphernalia; and
• ensure that when re-using a syringe,
  injectors only re-use their own.

The nevershare syringe helps you to reinforce the
essential message of “if you ever re-use a syringe,
make sure it’s your own.”
