New Jersey citizens are still at risk for contracting deadly diseases because our state is still without a comprehensive HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C prevention strategy. Some of our cities have established syringe access programs, permitted under the Blood Borne Disease Harm Reduction Act. But there are still many people at risk -- so here is your chance to protect the health of all New Jerseyans.
Take action now. This is your opportunity to tell your Senators that you support Senate Bill 631, which would permit the non-prescription sale of limited numbers of syringes in pharmacies across New Jersey. Our fight won't move forward unless you tell Senators that you care about saving lives in New Jersey.
Together, we can fight the spread of blood-borne diseases and ensure a healthier New Jersey but only if you act now.
Sincerely,
Roseanne Scotti
Director
