We have syringes for folks on HRT!

If you have questions, please call us at 801-702-3539 or visit our office during business hours, Tuesday - Friday 10a-1p

Is it your first time?

First timers don't have to bring syringes unless you have some that you need to get rid of. If it's your first time, you'll receive 40 syringes along with any other supplies you may need from the list below. Additionally, you'll need to be tested for HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV). You can learn more about testing using these links, HIV testing and HCV testing.

If you've been to any syringe exchange in Utah before, you're considered a returning participant, so make sure to bring your used syringes. If you want credit for them (the more you bring, the more we can give you in return), store them in a puncture-proof container. You can get sharps containers from us whenever we're open.

We follow Utah Law, exchanging the number of syringes you bring in for disposal rounded up to the nearest tenth. For example, if you bring in 1-10 syringes, you'll get 1 bag of 10. If you bring in 11-20 syringes, you'll get 2 bags of 10, and so on.

Supplies

Important note: Utah operates on a one-to-one plus system, meaning you're required to bring in used syringes for exchange unless you're a new participant. According to Utah Law, we exchange the number of syringes you bring in for disposal, rounding up to the nearest 10. For example, if you bring in 1-10 syringes, you'll receive 1 bag of 10. If it's 11-20 syringes, you'll get 2 bags of 10, and so forth. To make the process safer for everyone, we provide sharps containers for the proper storage of used syringes.
