HIPS

HIPS DC’s Home of Harm Reduction

We believe that those engaged in sex work, sex trade, and drug use should be able to live healthy, self-determined, and self-sufficient lives free from stigma, violence, criminalization or oppression. We will achieve this through engaging sex workers, drug users and our communities in challenging structural barriers to health, safety, and prosperity.

Did you know HIPS helped change hepatitis care around the world?

The ANCHOR study brought treatment to people actively using drugs, and showed they could complete treatment and be cured.

The takeaway? The answer was never more judgment. The answer was fewer barriers, trusted care and meeting people where they are.

That’s what HIPS is all about.

This World Hepatitis Day, make a gift today to help keep care within reach.
