Syringe Exchange

IDEA Exchange

Global Department CTA Block

We offer clean injection supplies to reduce sharing of needles, including 1:1 exchange of syringes, cottons, cookers, ties, sterile water, alcohol swabs, and portable sharps containers. By providing these tools to those who inject drugs, we help reduce the spread of HIV and Hepatitis C.

We also provide:

  • Completely anonymous enrollment
  • Anonymous HIV and Hepatitis C rapid testing
  • Disposal of used equipment included
  • Narcan, wound care, and other harm-reduction supplies
    • Naloxone, otherwise known as Narcan, is a prescription, life-saving medication used for drug overdose reversals. The IDEA Exchange provides free Naloxone to individuals, their families, and to organizations who do not have a prescription or insurance.
  • Basic wound care supplies such as bandages, antibiotics and sanitizers. 
  • Condoms to prevent the spread of transmissible infections.
