Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description HIV continues to be one of the leading causes of illness and death in the US, especially among black and Hispanic communities. For injection drug users (IDU), who are at high risk of acquiring HIV infection, HIV testing may not be readily accessible. In 2001, the New York State Legislature established an Expanded Syringe Access Demonstration Program (ESAP) in New York City which made syringes available through participating City; ten of which will test a model that refers injection-drug-using syringe customers for HIV testing to local HIV testing sites. Two ESAP pharmacies will evaluate the feasibility of offering and performing HIV counseling and testing in the pharmacy for injection-drug-using syringe customers. Two types of respondents will provide the individual-level data; fortyeight adult (age ≥18 yrs) pharmacy staff members will be surveyed to learn about pharmacy staff attitudes and behaviors regarding HIV testing and referral. The other respondent group will be 442 adult (age ≥18 yrs) injection-drug-using syringe customers who will complete a brief quantitative interview after HIV referral or HIV testing is offered to them. HIV-seropositive injection-drug-using syringe customers identified during HIV testing will be immediately linked to social and medical services. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. pharmacies for injection drug users. ESAP thus helped to reduce the burden of HIV by increasing access to sterile syringe sources. The ESAP allows for regular contact between pharmacists and their injection-drug-using syringe customers, thus paving the way for pharmacies to act as access points to health and social services among IDU customers. The expansion of pharmacy services to include referrals for injection-drug-using syringe customers is based on the successes of ESAP, which provides many services beyond syringe exchange. This project involves two kinds of studies: testing service models at pharmacies and, interviewing individuals regarding the availability of syringes through pharmacies. For testing service models CDC will collaborate with the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) to implement this project for a period of three years.

Proposed Project

    ``Evaluation of Pharmacy Syringe Access Linked to HIV Testing for 
Injection Drug Users in New York City (Pharm-HIV)''--New--National 
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP). 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    HIV continues to be one of the leading causes of illness and death 
in the US, especially among black and Hispanic communities. For 
injection drug users (IDU), who are at high risk of acquiring HIV 
infection, HIV testing may not be readily accessible. In 2001, the New 
York State Legislature established an Expanded Syringe Access 
Demonstration Program (ESAP) in New York City which made syringes 
available through participating pharmacies for injection drug users. 
ESAP thus helped to reduce the burden of HIV by increasing access to 
sterile syringe sources. The ESAP allows for regular contact between 
pharmacists and their injection-drug-using syringe customers, thus 
paving the way for pharmacies to act as access points to health and 
social services among IDU customers. The expansion of pharmacy services 
to include referrals for injection-drug-using syringe customers is 
based on the successes of ESAP, which provides many services beyond 
syringe exchange.
    This project involves two kinds of studies: testing service models 
at pharmacies and, interviewing individuals regarding the availability 
of syringes through pharmacies. For testing service models CDC will 
collaborate with the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) to implement 
this project for a period of three years.
    The NYAM will identify 12 ESAP pharmacies in East Harlem, New York 
City; ten of which will test a model that refers injection-drug-using 
syringe customers for HIV testing to local HIV testing sites. Two ESAP 
pharmacies will evaluate the feasibility of offering and performing HIV 
counseling and testing in the pharmacy for injection-drug-using syringe 
customers.
    Two types of respondents will provide the individual-level data; 
forty-eight adult (age >=18 yrs) pharmacy staff members will be 
surveyed to learn about pharmacy staff attitudes and behaviors 
regarding HIV testing and referral. The other respondent group will be 
442 adult (age >=18 yrs) injection-drug-using syringe customers who 
will complete a brief quantitative interview after HIV referral or HIV 
testing is offered to them. HIV-seropositive injection-drug-using 
syringe customers identified during HIV testing will be immediately 
linked to social and medical services. There is no cost to respondents 
other than their time.
