SummaryA review of the literature concerning the efficacy of needle exchange programs show that such programs work well in reducing rates of HIV and other infections among IV drug users. Further, such programs neither encourage addiction or increase rates of experimentation with intravenous drugs. However, such programs have not been widely adopted in the US. The issue of implementation is not budgetary but rather political; in the US such programs are seen as being "soft on drugs" and that stance is politically untenable in most parts of the country
