Provided street-based needle exchange services to injecting drug users (IDUs). HPP currently has 11 needle exchange sites a week and is one of the nation's largest needle exchange programs, exchanging more than 2.3 million needles a year. HPP is a volunteer-driven program supported by over 80 volunteers.
Not only does HPP provide safer injection supplies, it also offers community-based services such as HIV testing, drug treatment referrals, and medical care. This model of service provision helps to meet some of the other service needs identified by HPP's exchangers.
