Transcript
The hepatitis-C virus can be transmitted by sharing snorting tubes. The hepatitis-C virus is wider spread and more infectious than HIV. Even small amounts of dried blood residue can lead to a hepatitis-C infection. Protective measures can easily be taken: Use a clean surface. It is recommended to clean the snorting surface with an alcohol swab before consumption. Always use your own snorting tube. Do not share your snorting tube with others. Sharp edges of snorting tubes can cause lesions in your nasal mucous. Do not use rolled-up bank notes for snorting. They might be contaminated with germs and viruses. Take care of your nasal mucous. Use saline solution nasal spray after consumption. Rapid testing for HIV and Hepatitis: Infos: www.testit-berlin.de, 0157 – 82 - 8378 48, [email protected] Fixpunkt e. V.: www.fixpunkt.org
