Harlem United has decades of experience providing life-saving services aimed at reducing infectious disease transmission and overdose in high-risk communities. In 2004, we became one of the first organizations to offer rapid HIV testing, and in 2007 we began offering syringe exchange. Through robust, peer-supported community outreach, we provide testing services and substance use services to priority populations including people who use drugs, youth, people experiencing homelessness, and people with multiple chronic conditions.
We offer HIV, Hepatitis C, and other STI testing; patient navigation; syringe exchange; overdose prevention training and Naloxone dispensing; Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT) navigation; risk reduction and substance use counseling; recovery readiness services; relapse prevention; and more.
