The One & Only Campaign was started to empower patients to ask questions and re-educate healthcare providers regarding safe injection practices.
More than 125,000 patients in the United States have been notified of potential exposure to hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus and HIB due to unsafe injection practices since 1999. Many of these cases are a result of reusing syringes, which contaminates medication vials or containers that are subsequently used on other patients.
