Injecting Drug Use among Australian Indigenous communities

5/21/2007

"Something Is Going To Get Us" A Consultation and Development Project for a National Campaign Addressing Injecting Drug Use in Indigenous Communities.

This report presents the results of a consultation process with Indigenous IDUs conducted by the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations (AFAO) and the Australian Injecting and Illicit Drug Users League (AIVL). In response to evidence of an increase in HIV diagnoses attributed to injecting drug use in Indigenous communities, the project aimed to explore Indigenous experiences of injecting drug use and related issues, to inform the development of a national campaign to address injecting drug use in Indigenous communities.
