One of the consequences being reckless in shooting drugs is getting infected by blood born viruses. Linda does realise it. Now she is living not only with HIV but also HCV breeding within her blood. The test showed those living organisms in her blood about 10 years ago became a turning point of her life [after weeks of anger and grief]. Fortunately she got support from friends who have already been living peacefully with the reality that they have to live with the viruses for the rest of their life. Some of them returned to old habits wasting most of their time for smack, but many of them spend time for productive healthy life.
