Abstract
As heroin abuse rates continue to rise, pharmacists are undoubtedly integral allies in the fight to prevent the spread of communicable diseases like HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C. Education should be aimed at identifying barriers to NPSS resulting from resistant pharmacists' attitudes and practices. Increased education paired with favorable law and organizational policy and decentralization of syringe provision could increase access to clean needles and decrease public health risks.
