Prevention
Point Philadelphia (PPP) works to reduce harm associated with drug
use and sex work. PPP links drug users and sex workers with syringe
exchange, HIV testing and counseling, primary medical care and behavioral
health services and more. We serve over 10,000 individuals annually
through outreach, education, direct services and advocacy.
All
services are free. The Syringe Exchange Program and HIV testing
are anonymous. All other services are confidential.
PPP
also works with communities to increase public awareness about the
health and social service needs of drug users and the effectiveness
of harm reduction services, including syringe exchange. PPP works
closely with community-based organizations, religious institutions,
businesses, neighborhood associations, drug treatment providers
and medical institutions providing information and resources.
