I don't think that Insite has an impact on slowing HIV in East Hastings. There's about 25% infection prevalence. That's far above saturation (around 5%). Most likely all Insite does is prevent overdoses, which is important in its own right. I do disagree with harm reduction when it doesn't do anything to prevent immoral behaviour. Yes, I think taking hard drugs constitutes immoral behaviour.
