Article Abstract
Syringe services programs (SSPs) are evidence-based programs. SSPs are integral in preventing bloodborne diseases while increasing access to care and reducing drug overdose deaths. SSPs are often the only source of health care for people who use drugs. Several states in the United States support and offer community-based SPPs; however, US prisons do not offer such programs to those incarcerated. Nurses are bridging the gap in support of SSPs and are being backed by organizations such as the American Nurses Association and the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care.

UNAIDS and WHO have set goals for the elimination of viral hepatitis and HIV as major public health threats by 2030. To achieve these targets, innovative strategies are required among marginalized populations such as PWID, especially in resource-limited countries where coverage of harm reduction services is often limited.

A central challenge in the opioid crisis in the US has been the underuse of lifesaving treatment and harm reduction programs. Conventional explanations focus on limited access to care when services are not convenient, affordable, or timely. However, these factors exist downstream from other fundamental causes of low utilization.
