How to Clean Your Syringes (English & Spanish)
Key Points:
- If possible, always use a new, never used syringe and never share drug injection equipment—for example, cookers.
- A disinfected syringe is not as good as a new, clean syringe, but it can greatly reduce your risk for HIV and viral hepatitis.
- Wash your hands before cleaning your syringes.
- You will need three clean containers (cup, bowl, jar, etc.), clean water, and bleach.
