New Mexico has a successful syringe exchange program that has made a huge difference in the lives of IDU's throughout the state. Not only has it affected the drop in HIV transmission, but also Hep C. IDU's can receive overdose prevention and safer injection trainings. Those who inject can opt to learn how to use Narcan to further prevent overdose. Our IDU community feels better about obtaining basic medical care and gets treated withthe dignity they deserve. GO DC!!!

This is such a progressive prevention action. I wish I could say it was proactive, but there are many infected and affected people as a result of this funding not being alocated in the past. Nevertheless, I hope other cities follow the lead of Washington, D.C. and offer funding for needle exchange programs.
