Description:

Needs-based syringe distribution provides people who inject drugs (PWID) access to the number of syringes they need to ensure that a new, sterile syringe is available for each injection. A needs-based approach provides sterile syringes with no restrictions, including no requirement to return used syringes.

CDC supports the needs-based approach to syringe distribution, as the evidence shows that this is the best practice for reducing new HIV and viral hepatitis infections. Restrictive syringe access policies are associated with higher injection risk behaviors and higher rates of HIV and other bloodborne infections.

In contrast, under the most restrictive approach to syringe distribution, syringe services programs (SSPs) clients must return used syringes and can get only as many new syringes as used ones returned.
