Fast-Spreading HIV Outbreak in Indiana Linked to Injection of Painkiller
February 26th, 2015/
Health officials in Indiana say a fast-spreading outbreak of HIV in Indiana is largely due to injection drug abuse of the prescription painkiller Opana. The powerful drug is more potent, per milligram, than OxyContin.
State health officials said Wednesday they have confirmed 26 cases, and have four additional suspected cases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, injection drug users represent 8 percent of new HIV infections annually.
Indiana State Health Commissioner Jerome Adams says most of the residents who tested positive for HIV contracted the virus recently, and may spread it to others, USA Todayreports.
“Because prescription drug abuse is at the heart of this outbreak, we are not only working to identify, contact and test individuals who may have been exposed, but also to connect community members to resources for substance abuse treatment and recovery,” Adams said in a statement.
In 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new, crush-resistant formulation of Opana ER, an opioid containing oxymorphone. In 2013, the FDA denied a request from the maker of Opana to block generic forms of the drug.
The drug’s manufacturer, Endo Health Solutions, argued its newer tamper-resistant formula was more difficult to abuse than the original version of the drug, and asked that the agency not approve generic forms of the earlier version. The FDA decided that since the original Opana had not been withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness, generic forms of the painkiller could continue to be approved and marketed.
The FDA also said the newer Opana ER could still be abused, and might be more easily injected than the original formulation.

February 25 CHAP 97 v 11 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS
Light shines on the Godly ,and joy on those whose hearts are right .(GODS BIG BOOK)
STEP 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
It maybe only two sentences above but they are the key too living a joy filled life. Addiction is a sin called idolatry ! When we become addicted to a substance we become enslaved by it. It is our master and we will do what ever it commands us to do .Our lives are no longer ours and our hearts become filled with darkness (fear shame guilt regret anger depression ) . Society labels us diseased (junkie addict insane mentally ill) which is the furthest from the truth . God has all the answers but because we cant see it we choose not to believe so we stay enslaved and full of darkness. The key to freedom and joy is fix your heart and your head will follow . To fix and remove the darkness of your heart you must pray like you never prayed before believe with all your heart that you are being heard by your creator and loving Father in heaven and start using the Steps .God and The Steps are the only way to get out of the darkness. The steps are essential they remove Pride and the removal of pride brings humility and humility brings surrender and surrender brings confession and confession leads to Jesus and Jesus brings peace joy forgiveness and light. Society says your diseased ,God says you gotta broken heart ! Society says lock em up and medicate them ! God says I love with an unending love cast your addictions cares fears and worries on me and I will give you peace.
John 14 : 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (GODS BIG BOOK)
