EXPANDED SYRINGE ACCESS PROGRAM (ESAP)

In 2000, the New York State Legislature changed the Public Health Law to authorize a demonstration program to expand access to sterile hypodermic needles and syringes. This is a public health measure to prevent blood borne diseases, most notably HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B and hepatitis C. The Expanded Syringe Access Program became effective January 1, 2001 and as of the summer of 2009, became a permanent program.
