Voices from the streets

“I am no longer mistreating my skin, and injections don’t hurt. I understand this is very important for protection against illnesses.”
B.O.H. 69 Humacao
“I feel confident I won’t get infections with my Hepatitis C, and I have more preventive behaviors.”
C.H.A. 81 Humacao
“I benefit from having supplies and not having to spend money on them, and from not having bad experiences at drug stores that do not want to sell needles to me.”
L.Dl.Dm. 82 Humacao
“There is no scarcity of needles, so I don’t have to get used ones from other people.”
W.S.V 68 Humacao
“I no longer get anxious for not having needles, I don’t have to pick one from the floor, nor borrow or buy them. This has reduced the damages to my skin and my veins.”
H.R.Q. 67 Humacao
“Thanks to you, I have reasons to live.”
J.S.L. 60 Fajardo
