Syringe Service Program
Syringe Service Program
The Syringe Service Program (SSP) provides sterile syringes, safe syringe disposal and comprehensive harm reduction services to the community.
Syringe Service Programs, like ours, have contributed to the reduction of HIV/AIDS rates among people who use drugs in NYC. As of 1990, HIV/AIDS rates surpassed above 50%. A stark contrast to the decrease in current rates today, which have declined to below 5%.
Programa ampliado de acceso a jeringuillas
El Programa de Acceso Ampliado a Jeringuillas (ESAP) permite a médicos, asistentes médicos, enfermeros y farmacias registrados suministrar hasta diez jeringuillas sin receta a cualquier persona mayor de 18 años.
AHP has been instrumental in recruiting aforementioned providers with the necessary expertise and fostering collaboration within the program to increase the accessibility of sterile syringes.
