Summary:

"Proposed solutions to heroin addiction and efforts to slow the speed of HIV [infection] are also linked. In the United States, as in Switzerland, those who care about having both the spread of heroin addiction and the spread of HIV and AIDS have been seeking compatible solutions. Unfortunately, as much as many would like to hope that needle exchanges or legalization of heroin is one such solution, I believe that the record is now clear that neither of these are moral compromises in a sense, and they are both ineffective in halting AIDS and heroin addiction. In fact, an overwhelming body of credible evidence now strongly suggests just the opposite"--Page 1.
