Individuals who inject drugs are at risk for contracting HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis and other blood-borne infections. TCPP is a harm reduction program designed to aid and empower Injection Drug Users (IDUs) to reduce the health risks associated with injecting drugs.

TCPP provides these free and anonymous services:

• Exchanges and disposal of used syringes for new, sterile syringes.
• Safer injection & safer sex supplies
• Referrals to community resources & services
• HIV/AIDS & harm reduction education
• On site HIV antibody testing

We are proud to offer the only rural needle exchange program in New York State. We believe strongly in the efficacy of harm reduction programs in fighting the HIV epidemic. The rural citizens of New York are in no less need of syringe exchange, harm reduction, and other prevention strategies in staying safe from HIV. -- Diane Brown, STAP Executive Director

Quick Fact: As many as 57% of people diagnosed with AIDS in New York State are IDUs, their Sexual Partners, or their Children (NYS Department of Health)
