This paper reports findings from a National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded study designed to test the hypothesis that environmental changes, such as the enactment of laws to increase the accessibility of sterile syringes, including syringe exchange and pharmacy sale of syringes without a prescription, will lower the frequency of HIV risk and the prevalence of HIV among street drug users. Project COPE, a study of AIDS risk and risk prevention, collected longitudinal data on drug use, HIV risk, serostatus, and source of syringes in a sample of 710 out-of-treatment injection drug users in Hartford, CT. Findings support the hypothesis and the growing research-based conclusion that syringe exchange is an effective AIDS risk reduction modality.
