[Prevention of AIDS transmission by syringes and needles in France and Africa].
A study made among drug addicts in the Northern suburbs of Paris enables establishing a stabilisation of positive H.I.V. serology prevalence among them, a fact related to the free sale of syringes and needles. In Africa, the nosocomial transmission of H.I.V. by non-sterilisable but reused needles and syringes is demonstrated, and two cases are described. Its importance is certain but must be precise. The prevention of this epidemiological modality must be done by systematic use of reusable and sterilisable injectable material.
