We are the National Office for the Needle Exchange Programme in New Zealand.
The Needle Exchange Programme (NEP) is based upon the philosophy of harm reduction.
Although aimed at people who inject drugs the programme protects the wider, non-drug using community which faces a greater danger from the spread of HIV and Hepatitis infections than it does from the effects of drug use itself.
Harm reduction aims to reduce the harmful effects on health which result from injecting drug use. It does not condone the use of illegal drugs, but accepts that drug use continues to exist despite its legal prohibition.
The Programme is primarily concerned with reducing the transmission of communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS and strains/genotypes of Hepatitis.
