Taking it to the streets. Mobile harm reduction services in Warsaw

We talked with FES (the Social Education Foundation) and Prekursor (), who has been implementing a project of mobile testing for HIV, HCV, and syphilis on the streets of Warsaw since August 2017. This kind of testing has become widespread in other EU countries and all major cities now have such mobile services, so they were keen to have it in Poland as well, to include it as part of a broader coalition for HIV and AIDS prevention measures. Their offer targets specific users because they decided to start with a group that seems to need such service most, i.e. people who use drugs. Hence the camper, which, so far, has been doing rounds in Warsaw three times a week. They hope that next year they will be on the streets every day.
