Abstract
According to the available literature, many pharmacists express willingness to sell and report selling syringes to customers without a prescription. IDUs show willingness to use pharmacies to obtain syringes. Finally, pharmacy syringe sale and the legalization of this practice appear to have a positive impact on HIV risk behavior. Accordingly, the nonprescription sale of syringe should be promoted. However, the literature remains incomplete and future research is required.
