New York Clean Needle Program Starts Slowly
New York's controversial clean needle program opened with a small turnout of two participants on its first day at 125 Worth Street. Health Commissioner Stephen Joseph said the rollout will be gradual, with about 400 addicts expected to enroll over nine months. An initial participant, Angel, praised the program's options to enter multiple drug programs and reduce risky needle use. Participants receive testing, condoms, a sterile needle, and counseling, then exchange used needles for a new one.
