If you are a woman using heroin while pregnant, I recommend strongly that you immediately check yourself into a facility that can look after you at least until your child is born. PLEASE !

None. According to research, heroin and other opiates do not cause any diseases, or have any long term effects. But they do cause an effect on the body called withdrawal effects where one suffers. Large quantities of pure heroin may cause death by overdose.

However, intravenous drug use may cause many diseases, including HIV and Hepatitis, if needles are shared. Since heroin is illegal, there is no regulation of its production. Substances used to cut the heroin could also pose a hazard.
