Russian term or phrase: Нн…
Никогда не было такого у тебя опыта, чтобы ты брала шприц у кого-то еще из потребителей наркотиков?

Нет. Чтобы пользоваться чьим-то шприцом что ли? Никогда.

Ну, просто, чтобы тебе кто-то дал я имею в виду.

Нн… Если он будет запакованный, да, я возьму у кого-то, если мне предложат. Ну а если он будет использован - никогда.

I can’t imagine what the Нн… could mean. I can only think of Никогда, but a) that’s contradicted by what she then says (although of course she may be changing her mind) and b) why two NNs? Emphatic Никогда?

I realise now it's anybody's guess what the Нн… signifies, so I decided to award the points to you because you have clearly only just started obtaining them. (I looked at your profile). But just as many thanks to Ann Nosova.
