Abstract:
Pink card with black lettering. The text and images describe how to properly disinfect instruments when using drugs and sharing needles. On the verso there is a sequence of illustrations that show how to disinfect needles. The first illustration in the sequence shows bleach being poured into a glass. This is the first step in the process - use fresh bleach. Below is an illustration of water being poured into the same glass. This is the second step in the process - add fresh water. The next 4 illustrations, which are each shown twice, show the syringe and the glass with instructions on how to complete the disinfecting process; fill the syringe with the bleach and water, empty the syringe into the sink, fill the syringe again, then empty the syringe again.
