Description
Since early 2015, a significant increase in HIV transmission has been observed among people who inject drugs in Glasgow. Investigations have indicated a link between the outbreak and injecting drug use in public places in the city centre. In response to the accumulating evidence of poor health and injecting-related harm among people who inject drugs in public places in Glasgow city centre, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) and Glasgow City Alcohol & Drugs Partnership (ADP) initiated this project to review the health needs of this population and to make recommendations for services.
