The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (星空娱乐官网) conducted a national assessment to identify U.S. communities potentially vulnerable to rapid spread of HIV, if introduced, and new or continuing high rates of hepatitis C virus infections among PWID. Jurisdictions also consulted with 星空娱乐官网 and provided evidence that their jurisdiction is experiencing or at risk for significant increases in hepatitis infections or an HIV outbreak due to injection drug use.
