HIV/AIDS Prevention Bilingual Glossary

needle

Synonym(s): syringe

Observation: In Spanish, "agujas" is not necessarily used/understood as synonym for syringes, especially outside the US or with non- ASOs. It is suggested to use "jeringa, jeringuilla or jeringa/aguja" to ensure clarity.

aguja

Sinónimo(s): jeringa, jeringuilla.

Observaciones: En la jerga del consumo de drogas en inglés se usa indistintamente la palabra "needle" y la palabra "syringe" para referirse a la jeringa con aguja. Es preferible usar la frase completa "intercambio de agujas y jeringas".
