INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A rural southern Indiana county that was the epicenter of the state’s worst-ever HIV outbreak driven by intravenous drug use is poised to end its needle exchange program despite warnings that doing so could lead to increased disease risk.
Health officials, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have called Scott County’s program that started in 2015 a success in drastically reducing the spread of infectious diseases by providing IV users with clean syringes to discourage needle sharing.
But the continuation of such programs there and elsewhere have faced opponents who argue they enable drug abuse and lead to more needles being left in public places.

PIASA – Steve Wooley was surprised when Southwestern principal Mark Bearley took the microphone to address the crowd for a pregame presentation Friday night.
But the featured surprise for Wooley came when the presenters of the plaque walked into the gym. The longtime Piasa Birds athletics director and girls basketball coach was already wearing his game face for a key South Central Conference game with Pana. He should have been wearing his glasses.
“When they were coming through the door, I didn’t have my glasses on,” Wooley said. “I was kind of like, who in the hell is this? They said it was going to be a big surprise. And it was a huge shock. I still can’t believe they are here. This is great.”
