Medically necessary treatments such as those required by HIV and Hepatitis patients? Preventing a person from getting HIV saves hundreds of thousands of dollars, if it just costs a couple cents for a clean syringe it's very likely that it's saving money in the long run, even with the facility operations.
And when it comes to these diseases, it's not just the single person but any future person who may come into fluid contact with that person, including people who may not have done anything 'wrong' (i.e. sexual relationship, incidental contact with fluid).
