⚠️Fentanyl reality check
❌MYTH: You can see, taste, or smellfentanyl in drugs
✅TRUTH: Fentanyl is invisible—and deadly

Fentanyl is showing up in co***ne, he**in, and fake pills that look like prescription medications. You can’t detect it with your senses, but you can test for it with test strip kits.

Free Fentanyl test strips are available to keep you and your community safer. One test could save a life.

- Visit nyc.gov/fentanyl for free resources.
- Call 311 for test strip locations.

Today is World AIDS Day! This annual event serves as a reminder of the global struggle to end HIV-related stigma, an opportunity to honor those we have lost, and a rallying cry to commit to working toward a day when HIV is no longer a public health threat.

Last week, Alliance was proud to host harm reduction experts from the City of Newcastle, U.K., and Newcastle Treatment and Recovery. Rachael Hope, Zoe Champion, and Thomas Vardy joined us on outreach, in the syringe exchange, speaking with participants in our groups, and in meetings with public health experts across NYC!
