Anybody who injects drugs (including steroids) can get free, new equipment from a needle exchange service. You don’t need an appointment, you can walk in and get what you need. Let staff know what you’re using and they’ll make sure you get the right equipment.
You can get:
- Needles (pins)
- Syringes (barrels)
- Spoons (cookers)
- Vitamin C or citric
- Filters
- Foils
- Bins
Using new, sterile injecting equipment helps keep you safe from infections, wounds and abscesses. It also protects you from viruses like HIV, Hep B and Hep C. For more information on reducing the harm from drugs please click here.
