Legal access to needles and syringes...Publisert 2004-10-26 In a study, published in The European Journal of Public Health with first author, Ellen J. Amundsen, it is shown that, when considered together, the different measures to prevent HIV-transmission in Scandinavia, a high level of HIV-testing and counselling render better results than legal and ready access to clean syringes and needles. This is the only study, so far, where these measures are evaluated comparatively.
