3. Countries and territories reporting injecting drug use and human immuno deficiency virus among injecting drug users 10

So I came together with a group of other people who were all looking at this issue, and we created the Plastic Pollution Coalition.

Concerned that risk taking behaviour, including injecting drug use and sharing of needles, syringes and other infected equipment, is a significant route for the transmission of HIV AIDS and other blood borne diseases,

(d) Criminal law should not be an impediment to measures taken by States to reduce the risk of HIV transmission among injecting drug users and to provide HIV related care and treatment for injecting drug users.

Half of the countries reporting injecting drug use also reported HIV infection among the injecting drug abusers (see map 3, p.10).

Concerned that risk taking behaviour, including injecting drug use, sharing of needles, syringes and other infected equipment, is a significant route for the transmission of HIV AIDS and other blood borne diseases,

For example, in Viet Nam, where IDUs have been targeted for HIV testing, 72 per cent of the IDU population was found to be infected. quot Indicative statistics on illicit drug production, trafficking and abuse in Viet Nam quot , United Nations International Drug Control Programme, October 1996.

(c) Where the act is perpetrated using explosive or inflammable materials, or toxic, incendiary, contaminant, bacteriological, chemical or radioactive and other similar materials.

A relatively small percentage of newly acquired infections was attributed to a history of injecting drug use in Australia (3.4 per cent).

Injecting drug use practice is not limited to intravenous injecting, but also include intramuscular or subcutaneous injecting.

The risk of contracting infections like hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) because of sharing of injecting equipment is well known.

The plan of action concentrates on four main areas nuclear safety safety of nuclear fuel and radioactive waste monitoring of radioactive contamination and weapons related environmental problems.

29. They may also serve to promote international cooperation to keep the regions concerned free of environmental pollution f rom radioactive wastes and other radioactive matter.

HIV infection among injecting drug users has been reported in Morocco and Nigeria.

18. Injecting drug users (IDUs) are the second largest group at risk for HIV infection in the Americas and Europe.A. R. Moss and others, quot HIV seroconversion in intravenous drug users in San Francisco, 1985 1990 quot , AIDS 1994, vol. 8, pp. 223 231.

It's plastic pollution.

22. Reducing the number of people who begin to inject drugs could control HIV transmission to a certain extent.

Once HIV has been introduced into a local community of injecting drug users, there is a possibility of extremely rapid spread.

(iii) Immunization, injections and electrocardiograms

24. A UNDCP World Health Organization (WHO) study Multi City Drug Injecting and HIV Study 1994, on drug injecting behaviour and HIV infection in 13 cities, showed that injecting drug users do change their behaviour in response to information about HIV acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and with access to the means for behaviour change.

Localization, transport and burial of radioactive waste, deactivating materials and maintaining radioactive waste repositories

To prevent the risks of babies contracting tetanus, two doses of tetanus toxoid are administered during these visits.

And in all of those countries, you can see, not more than four percent of injectors ever became infected with HIV.

The exact extent of HIV infection among IDUs differs from country to country and from region to region.

State medical supervision gives particular attention to the radiation protection of the population living in radiation contaminated areas and to organizing the provision of a complete, free and balanced diet for affected children.

UNICEF continued to support safe injection practices through injection safety training and the exclusive use of auto disable (AD) syringes with injectable vaccines.

To enhance the status of women, AGBEF has also launched a project on Women, Islam and Family Planning .

However, it appears to be more difficult to reverse an existing epidemic of HIV among IDUs than preventing an epidemic.

25. Besides HIV AIDS, hepatitis and tuberculosis are the most important infections among drug injecting users.

90. Policies on reducing the transmission of contagious diseases by providing clean injecting equipment differ between countries.

9. A radiation dissemination device means any device capable of disseminating any type of radioactive materials by any means which pose the danger of contaminating a population and area.

Syringe

While several speakers reported significant success in reducing HIV prevalence among injecting drug users in their countries, serious concern was expressed regarding the high prevalence rates of hepatitis among injecting drug users.

While several speakers reported significant success in reducing HIV prevalence among injecting drug users in their countries, serious concern was expressed regarding the high prevalence rates of hepatitis among injecting drug users.

In many cases, use of contaminated drug injecting equipment was the main route of transmission of HIV, as well as hepatitis.

The incidence of acute cases of hepatitis B (being some 10 times more infectious than HIV) has for long been considered to be an indirect indicator of the incidence of injecting drug use. More recently, the occurrence of hepatitis C among IDUs has attracted concern.

(e) Injecting drug users living with HIV AIDS needed to be included in programmes providing access to antiretroviral treatment.

More than 10 per cent of our country's territory was exposed to radioactive contamination.

France takes note of the concerns that the transportation of radioactive materials raises among some island States.
