Description

Injection drug use is one of the most common methods of transmission for a number of preventable life‐threatening diseases, incl. HIV and hepatitis C. Along with drug treatment and behavioral health interventions, syringe access programs are an important component in attempting to prevent/reduce the risks associated with injection drug use. On Dec. 19, 2006, Governor Corzine signed the “Blood‐borne Disease Harm Reduction Act,” which allows a maximum of six municipalities in NJ to establish a demonstration syringe access program. This report presents an evaluation of the Demonstration Project based on data collected from the inception of the first site from Nov. 27, 2007 through Dec. 31, 2009. Charts and tables.
