The People of Color Against AIDS Network (POCAAN) is a social service organization serving Seattle and King County's marginalized communities, including Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, and Pacific Islander. POCAAN was founded in 1987 and originally focused on HIV/AIDS prevention, but its work has expanded to address issues associated with marginalization and health disparities, such as substance abuse, incarceration, sexually transmitted infections, and discrimination. POCAAN's services include visits to senior centers to provide basic medical care, support with housing, addiction support counseling, and a clinic which provides HIV/AIDS and STI testing and treatment.

This brochure was produced by POCAAN in 1992 and provides information about the risk of contracting HIV/AIDS from sharing needles for drug use. It advises drug users not to share syringes and includes instructions on how to sanitize needles.
