HelpStopAIDS is a project of the Drug Policy Alliance, funded by the California Endowment, in partnership with Los Angeles Department of Public Health.

Together we are assisting the implementation of LA County's Disease Prevention Demonstration Project (DPDP).

Authorized by 2004 CA Senate Bill 1159, DPDP will allow participating pharmacies in LA County to dispense 10 or fewer syringes without a prescription to individuals over 18 years of age.

Expanded access to clean sterile syringes will prevent the spread of blood-borne diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis C by eliminating the use of non-sterile syringes as a source of disease transmission.
