Safety Counts, a seven-session harm reduction program,  provides people who inject drugs and crack cocaine users, and their sex partners with the opportunity and techniques to change personal behaviors that put them at risk for acquiring or transmitting HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. Information, risk reduction planning, and support is provided in an accepting and caring environment.

The Post Intervention Group is an opportunity for those who have completed the Safety Counts program to continue in a support group that helps participants successfully implement their risk reduction plans.
