Needle Exchange Services
The provincial needle exchange service is a great way to stay HIV and Hepatitis C free or to reduce transmission to other individuals. The province of Prince Edward Island provides these services free of charge and they can also help you with immunization for influenza and Hepatitis A and B.
The needle exchange program can also take your used syringes and dispose of them safely. Your cooperation is appreciated to help keep our streets and parks clean!
