Massachusetts launches hotline on needles

The AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts Inc. has launched a new bilingual, statewide hotline to answer questions about pharmacy access to needles. The hotline was effective as of Sept. 18, when the new law permitted the sale of needles without a prescription for people 18 and older. Possession of needles for people 18 and older has been legal in Massachusetts since the law passed on July 14. The hotline is 1-(800) 988-5209.
