District of Columbia: Needle Exchange Funding UrgedNovember 28, 2007 Monday's report on the District's HIV/AIDS epidemic pays too little attention to the role of drug injecting, said Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.). "The report does a disservice in creating headlines that the District has the highest AIDS rate without, at the very least, mentioning the possible effect of many years without fully operating and lifesaving needle exchange programs," she said. Norton has long fought the congressional policy that prohibits the District from using local funds to support needle exchanges. Now she predicts that ban will soon be overturned.
