HIV/HCV Screening
People who inject drugs are at a higher risk of these blood-borne diseases and should be screened regularly. Early treatment can make a big difference for long-term health, so it is important to know your status. Project Safe Point provides screening for HIV and Hepatitis C at all mobile locations (linked below), by appointment at our administrative offices, and at community events. We also visit local substance abuse treatment programs and other community organizations to provide screening. If there is a positive screen, we assist with arranging for confirmatory testing, help make a referral for treatment, and assist with any insurance or other barriers. Project Safe Point staff are available for anyone who is HIV and/or Hepatitis C positive to help with any needs you have.
