  • Title: New Mexico approves needle-exchange programs statewide.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1997 May 02; 12(8):5. PubMed ID: 11364307.
    Abstract:
    Governor Gary E. Johnson signed S.B. 220, authorizing needle-exchange programs in New Mexico. The program offers sterile syringes to registered drug addicts who turn in used syringes. The Harm Reduction Act instructs the State Health Department to establish and administer a harm reduction program. In addition to including needle exchanges, the Health Department must educate participants about preventing HIV and other infectious diseases and offer referrals to substance abuse treatment programs. With the signing of this bill, New Mexico becomes the 6th State in the U.S. to authorize needle exchange programs.
