PPP
is a non-profit, public health organization committed to protecting
the health and welfare of drug users and sex workers. PPP works
to reduce the harm associated with drug use and sex industry work
by offering a safe and humane alternative to the war on drugs.
PPP
operates culturally-sensitive, non-judgmental prevention and care
services designed to prevent the spread of HIV and other blood-borne
diseases. These programs successfully link injection drug users
(IDUs) and sex workers with HIV testing and counseling, primary
medical care, and an array of social services, including detox,
drug treatment, and behavioral health services. PPP provides a full
spectrum of consumer-driven programs to over 10,000 individuals
annually through four major programs: the Syringe
Exchange Program, the Harm Reduction
Services Center, the Street-Side
Health Project and the Trans-health
Information Project.
We
are Philadelphia's only provider of sterile syringe exchange.
