IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

The Truth About Bleach

• Not 100% effective in killing HIV in a syringe
• Does not kill Hepatitis C. in a syringe
• Household bleach is only effective up to one year after it has been opened
• Bleach should only be used as a last option, if you do not have access to new needles
• Talk to a needle exchange worker if you have any questions about bleach use
