About Me

The Austin Harm Reduction Coalition is a non-profit volunteer based organization that works to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C among injection drug users. We operate mobile services to clients, providing HIV testing, drug treatment options, and resources to prevent disease transmission (condoms etc).

Syringe possession and distribution is illegal in Texas, so we advocate for legal needle exchange.
