The facts seem to be:
1. HIV in Fiji is up 10-fold from 2014 (that's a lot, but if the starting point was small, then it's hard to say)
2. 50% of people who contracted HIV said they shared needles (common issue, unrelated to "Bluetoothing")
3. "Bluetoothing" is a meme, and it sounds insane, and in some small sample in South Africa, 18% of drug users claimed to have done it.
4. In Pakistan, street vendors are selling pre-used heroin syringes (also insane - but needle sharing, not "Bluetoothing")
I mean, sure, this is news in the sense that it's insane. But the headline makes you wonder what's going on at the NYT.
