With this thread and this thread currently attracting a lot of attention and debate, I thought I'd post a link to the IV/IM injection guide over in the FAQ forum for people who want to read up on the details of IM/IV procedures, anyone considering it or current users wishing to compare methods.

Intravenous and Intramuscular Injection.

In the IV section of the FAQ it doesn't mention cleaning up any blood from your arm afterwards. This may be obvious to a lot of people, but I believe it worthy of a mention considering the large numbers of Hep C + injectors.

Also, does putting direct pressure on the site after injection reduce bruising?

Yeah, pressure on the site will reduce bruising.

Check out this excellent link on vein care that explains the process really well.
