A reminder that the Thistle service was originally proposed on the back of an HIV outbreak among people who inject drugs in Glasgow in 2015 (!), and the strongest predictor of infection was Cocaine injecting. We still have limited treatment options for this group. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cocaine is most used drug in Glasgow consumption room
New figures also show that the vast majority of people who have used The Thistle are men.
