Lettering

I stopped sharing. If you share works when you shoot up you could get AIDS and die. Take it from me. I've been there. On drugs. I know people who have the HIV/AIDS virus. I shared my works before I found out about AIDS. Sometimes I would still shoot up. I would buy my own rig and nobody else would use it. I was lucky. I stopped sharing needles before I got the AIDS virus ... If you have questions about how to shoot safer or about AIDS, you can talk to someone from the REACH Program. Call ...
