Barriers, beliefs, and biomedical prevention
BACKGROUND: Peripregnant women who use drugs and are involved in the criminal legal system (CLS) face elevated risks of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition due to overlapping vulnerabilities, including sexual violence, structural instability, and limited access to preventive healthcare. The unique needs of this population are routinely overlooked in both clinical practice and research. This qualitative study explores peripregnant women…
Long-Acting Injectable Prep for People Who Inject Drugs at a Syringe Services Program
Although people who inject drugs (PWID) are at high risk of acquiring HIV, knowledge and uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention among this population remain low due to numerous psychosocial and structural barriers. Multiple implementation strategies have been proposed to address this gap, notably providing long-acting injectable (LAI) formulations of PrEP and offering PrEP at syringe services programs (SSPs). This qualitativ…
Financial barriers, facilitators, and strategies among syringe services programs in the U.S., and their impact on implementation and health outcomes
Syringe Services Programs (SSPs) provide evidence-based services like drug use equipment to prevent infectious disease, overdose prevention education, and naloxone distribution to people who use drugs (PWUD). However, inadequate funding threatens provision of these interventions. This study aimed to document how the current funding landscape impacted determinants of SSP implementation, particularly describing financial and staffing barriers, faci…
Updates on syringe coverage and service uptake among needle and syringe programs in the United States, 2019–2020
Both governmental investment in harm reduction programming and needs-based distribution of syringes increased service uptake and thus should be expanded and sustained to reduce harms associated with injection drug use
Injection and Sexual Behavior Profiles among People Who Inject Drugs in Miami, Florida
BACKGROUND: The dynamics of injection drug use and higher-risk sexual practices compound the risk of HIV and HCV acquisition. Published literature on people who inject drugs (PWID) has examined risk of infection assuming homogeneity of cohort behavior. Categorizing subgroups by injection and sexual risk can inform a more equitable approach to how syringe services programs (SSPs) adapt harm reduction resources and implementation of evidence-based …
Ending the HIV Epidemic for Persons Left Behind in the Advances of HIV
The advent of antiretroviral therapy and biomedical prevention has transformed HIV from a fatal disease to a chronic condition where people with HIV (PWH) can live long, healthy lives. Yet, there remains a subset of PWH left behind from receiving timely HIV diagnosis and care. Striking inequalities in access to resources, socioeconomic disparities, and social forces have prevented certain PWH from achieving significant health and quality of life …
The Crucial Role of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous Leadership in Harm Reduction and Addiction Treatment
The University of Miami Infectious Disease Elimination Act Syringe Services Program
After the closure of pill mills and implementation of Florida’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program in 2010, high demand for opioids was met with counterfeit pills, heroin, and fentanyl. In response, medical students at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine embarked on a journey to bring syringe services programs (SSPs) to Florida through an innovative grassroots approach. Working with the Florida Medical Association, students learne…
Syringe services program (SSP) operational changes during the Covid-19 global outbreak
Impact of routine opt-out HIV/HCV screening on testing uptake at a syringe services program
Bundled opt-out HIV/HCV testing substantially increased the percentage of SSP clients who received HIV and HCV rapid tests at enrollment into the program, and the effect remained stable across the 22 months post opt-out testing policy. Future investigation must assess PWID-level perspective of testing preferences and examine whether this testing approach improves HIV/HCV detection among PWID previously unaware of their status
Examining risk behavior and syringe coverage among people who inject drugs accessing a syringe services program
Existing interventions among this population to mitigate infectious disease risk, such as SSPs, can be a used to engage differing PWID populations. However, multi-component, targeted preventive interventions and need-based syringe distribution policies are required to further reduce HIV and HCV risk among various PWID populations

Implementation of an Immediate HIV Treatment Initiation Program in a Public/Academic Medical Center in the U.S. South
Rapid Identification and Investigation of an HIV Risk Network Among People Who Inject Drugs –Miami, FL, 2018
Prevention of HIV outbreaks among people who inject drugs remains a challenge to ending the HIV epidemic in the United States. The first legal syringe services program (SSP) in Florida implemented routine screening in 2018 leading to the identification of ten anonymous HIV seroconversions. The SSP collaborated with the Department of Health to conduct an epidemiologic investigation. All seven acute HIV seroconversions were linked to care (86% with…
