- Region: North America
- Country: USA
- Keywords: Drug & alcohol use, HIV prevention
A mobile needle exchange in Berkeley, California, run by the volunteer-based collective Needle Exchange Emergency Distribution (NEED). Needle exchange schemes provide clean needles and syringes to drug addicts, helping to prevent the spread of HIV and other infections. The American government refuses to fund needle exchanges; most struggle to survive on a shoestring budget.
