  • Title: NJ offers everything but needle exchange.
    Journal: AIDS Alert; 1999 Jun; 14(6):63. PubMed ID: 11366408.
    Abstract:
    New Jersey has a variety of programs aimed at getting drug users off drugs, but the State does not have a needle exchange program. There are 105 substance abuse treatment programs in New Jersey, which provide HIV testing and counseling. New Jersey has the fifth highest number of AIDS cases in the country, according to the most recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and HIV-positive women who are infected by men who inject illegal drugs are one of the fastest growing HIV populations in the State. New Jersey has instituted a program aimed at female partners of injection drug users to teach them about HIV prevention and offer testing and counseling. The State also has a drug treatment program for injecting drug users at risk for HIV. With this program, free treatment is available in one of four high-volume methadone maintenance programs, which collectively assist 1,800 to 2,000 injection drug users per year.
