They'll just end up even poorer if their kids get diseases through the syringes.

The alternative is that the children don't get medical treatment and die.

Have you ever gotten a non-emergency medical treatment so beneficial that it was worth getting HIV in exchange? Do you know anyone who has? I wish we had medicine that amazing, but it doesn't exist.

In theory, such a treatment is possible, but in reality, they're just making everything worse.

I really doubt that people who can't afford a clean syringe go to the doctor for non-emergency treatments.
