Tacoma Needle Exchange, founded in 1988 by Dave Purchase, is a community-based organization in Tacoma, WA that aims to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic by providing new injection supplies to drug users. By promoting the use of clean syringes and injection supplies, they strive to minimize the risks of contracting blood borne viruses associated with drug use.
Following Dave's model, Tacoma Needle Exchange builds trust with participants, allowing for open conversations about drug use, sex practices, and other related issues. They also maintain strong relationships with service providers in the South Puget Sound region, ensuring that participants receive appropriate referrals when immediate needs cannot be met.
