Elizabeth Pisani (an epidemiologist--and a DIFFERENT elizabeth) has a new video out on TEDtalks titled "Sex drugs and HIV: let's get real": http://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_pisani_sex_drugs_and_hiv_let_s_get_rational_1.html
This video talks about how law enforcement makes people make stupid decisions, i.e. using unclean needles because people fear arrest in Indonesia.
"What's rational for public health is rational for individuals"
Now, we all know what's best for public health-- you want availability of clean needles and no punishment for using these clean needles, so that people do not spread disease.
Take the 20 minutes and watch, it's VERY valuable.
