Deadly diseases or health risks
The LEAD includes a statement about "... health risks such as infection or disease (hepatitis C, HIV) from contaminated needles." but at the point in the article where these risks are discussed the article says: "Deadly diseases like hepatitis and HIV/AIDS can be passed from one person to the next through shared needles." This is inconsistent with the lead section and displays an editorial non-neutral point of view concerning these diseases because it does not explain what makes them deadly under prison tattooing conditions. Saying a disease is deadly suggests that the infected person will quickly and inevitably die from the disease as a result of being infected. A disease like Ebola is deadly in most untreated cases. This is not the case with either of the diseases cited. While both diseases have a life shortening risk, especially if left untreated, treatments are available and most infected people can survive for years, even without treatment. A common bacterial skin infection is more likely to be deadly in prison tattooing conditions. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:02, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
