I have never heard of getting HIV through sharing a crack pipe. Never! I'm going to have to check that out (not that I need to, mind you). I hope they are making them exchange them and not just handing out small glass, open-ended tubes and a chore boy.
Not HIV so much as Hep C, which is able to live exposed to air for a relatively long time. Old pipes get cracked and chipped on the smoking end, and little bits of blood can transmit it from person to person
