World AIDS Day and Needle Exchange
by Brad Forenza, MSSW
Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from a special web article posted on THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER site for World AIDS Day 2012. Read the full article at:
December 1st marks the 24th annual observance of World AIDS Day; while the United States has come a long way in caring for our friends and neighbors living with HIV/AIDS (some now refer to it as a treatable illness as opposed to a terminal disease), there are still more innovations to be made in social work practice and intervention research with this population. This includes more education and outreach about viral transmissions, but also advocating for concrete—albeit politically divisive—interventions like needle exchange, which enables injection drug users to trade dirty needles for clean ones. This article focuses on the formation and implementation of New Jersey’s needle exchange pilot, the last state to implement such a program.
Needle Exchange Formation (1996 – 2006)
When New Jersey enacted the Bloodborne Disease Harm Reduction Act, it did so to safeguard injection drug users (IDUs) against the transmission of potentially terminal viruses like HIV/AIDS. Despite altruistic intentions, the Act was met with alarm. Its polarity may be attributed to the social construction of IDUs: politically weak and socially undesirable addicts. The majority of policies that pertain to IDUs (chief among them: rigid mandatory minimum laws) sustain the image of a group that is inherently deviant, abhorrent, and immoral. Needle exchange programs demonstrate compassion for IDUs and their overall well being.
Before needle exchange became New Jersey law, it was estimated that 50% of all new HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed in the state could be attributed to injection drug use; in 2006, the state ranked first in the nation with respect to the spread of HIV/AIDS via contaminated needles. Additionally, the state’s two largest cities (Newark and Jersey City) were among the nation’s top five metropolitan residences of infected IDUs (Assembly Bill Comments, 2006). While other states—even traditionally conservative ones—had implemented variations of needle exchange years earlier, as of 2006, New Jersey had not. In the late 1990s, then-Governor Christie Whitman (a Republican) rejected calls to address the issue:
“We outlaw drug use because of what it does to people... there are bad things that happen when you use intravenous drugs, and I cannot bring myself to sanction that by having government give out clean needles.” (Statement by Christie Whitman to the National Press Club; cited in News Briefs, 1996)
Four years after Whitman’s statement, a report from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (2000) became the authoritative, empirically based voice on needle exchange. The report confirmed that the presence of needle exchange yielded two major benefits: (1) it decreased the incidence of new HIV cases, and (2) it increased the numbers of IDUs referred to, and retained in, drug treatment. The report also demonstrated that the presence of needle exchange did not increase a community’s incidence of drug use.
In response to the DHHS report, the Drug Policy Alliance, a national interest group that lobbies for alternatives to the War on Drugs, created the Campaign for a Healthier New Jersey. The Campaign lobbied the city councils of Atlantic City and Camden to legalize needle exchange. Both councils approved a permissive measure, but the legality of implementation was challenged under a directive from then-Governor James McGreevey (a Democrat), with whom the courts ultimately sided:
"It is abundantly clear that the Ordinance permits what is expressly forbidden by (state law)... the distribution of hypodermic syringes by a municipality to persons not authorized to possess them, namely intravenous users of illegal drugs.” (Statement by Superior Court Judge Valerie Armstrong; citied in Livio, 2004)
The summer of 2004 brought an abrupt end to the tenure of Governor McGreevey. In the waning days of his administration, he allowed needle exchange to flourish under a temporary executive order. Fifteen months later, Democrat Jon Corzine was sworn into the Governorship. Based on prior record, Corzine was assumed to be a friend to progressive causes like needle exchange. As such, when an allied bill made its way through the state legislature, among those offering support was Eddy Bresnitz, Corzine’s State Epidemiologist:
"We should not be delaying another minute in putting life-saving tools such as syringe exchange programs in the hands of communities desperate to stop the transmission of bloodborne diseases… syringe exchange programs not only prevent the transmission of bloodborne diseases but also help drug addicts get into treatment.'' (Testimony of the State Epidemiologist; cited in Smith, Needle Access Bill Advances, 2006)
The bill that Corzine signed into law on December 19, 2006, made New Jersey the last state in the nation to adopt a needle exchange policy (Division of Addictions, 2008). It was not the vast, comprehensive bill that supporters once envisioned; instead, the Governor’s signature allowed the State Department of Health and Senior Services to adopt regulations permitting only six municipalities to apply for, and implement, local needle exchange programs. The bill would also appropriate $10 million for drug treatment.

American Psychiatric Association Board of Trustees Approves DSM-5
Earlier this month, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) Board of Trustees has approved the final diagnostic criteria for the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The trustees’ action marks the end of the manual’s comprehensive revision process, which has spanned over a decade and included contributions from more than 1,500 experts in psychiatry, psychology, social work, psychiatric nursing, pediatrics, neurology, and other related fields from 39 countries. These final criteria will be available when DSM-5 is completed and published in spring 2013.
“The Board of Trustees approval of the criteria is a vote of confidence for DSM-5,” said Dilip Jeste, MD, president of APA. “We developed DSM-5 by utilizing the best experts in the field and extensive reviews of the scientific literature and original research, and we have produced a manual that best represents the current science and will be useful to clinicians and the patients they serve.”
DSM-5 is the guidebook used by clinicians and researchers to diagnose and classify mental disorders. Now that the criteria have been approved, review of the criteria and text describing the disorders will continue to undergo final editing and then publication by American Psychiatric Publishing.
The manual will include approximately the same number of disorders included in DSM-IV. This goes against the trend from other areas of medicine that increase the number of diagnoses annually.
“We have sought to be conservative in our approach to revising DSM-5. Our work has been aimed at more accurately defining mental disorders that have a real impact on people’s lives, not expanding the scope of psychiatry,” said David J. Kupfer, MD, chair of the DSM-5 Task Force. “I’m thrilled to have the Board of Trustees’ support for the revisions and for us to move forward toward the publication.”
Organization of DSM-5
DSM-5 will be comprised of three sections:
- Section 1 will give an introduction to DSM-5 with information on how to use the updated manual;
- Section 2 will outline the categorical diagnoses according to a revised chapter organization; and
- Section 3 will include conditions that require further research before their consideration as formal disorders, as well as cultural formulations, glossary, the names of individuals involved in DSM-5’s development, and other information.
Select Decisions Made by APA Board of Trustees
Chapter order: DSM-5’s 20 chapters will be restructured based on disorders’ apparent relatedness to one another, as reflected by similarities in disorders’ underlying vulnerabilities and symptom characteristics. The changes will align DSM-5 with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Diseases, eleventh edition (ICD-11) and are expected to facilitate improved communication and common use of diagnoses across disorders within chapters.
Removal of multiaxial system: DSM-5 will move to a nonaxial documentation of diagnosis, combining the former Axes I, II, and III, with separate notations for psychosocial and contextual factors (formerly Axis IV) and disability (formerly Axis V).
Section 2 Disorders
1. Autism spectrum disorder: The criteria will incorporate several diagnoses from DSM-IV, including autistic disorder, Asperger’s disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder (not otherwise specified), into the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder for DSM-5.
2. Binge eating disorder will be moved from DSM-IV’s Appendix B: Criteria Sets and Axes Provided for Further Study, to DSM-5 Section 2.
3. Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder will be included in DSM-5 to diagnose children who exhibit persistent irritability and frequent episodes of behavior outbursts three or more times a week for more than a year. The diagnosis is intended to address concerns about potential over-diagnosis and overtreatment of bipolar disorder in children.
4. Excoriation (skin-picking) disorder is new to DSM-5 and will be included in the Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders chapter.
5. Hoarding disorder is new to DSM-5. Its addition to DSM is supported by extensive scientific research on this disorder. This disorder will help characterize people with persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value. The behavior usually has harmful effects—emotional, physical, social, financial, and even legal—for a hoarder and family members.
6. Pedophilic disorder criteria will remain unchanged from DSM-IV, but the disorder name will be revised from pedophilia to pedophilic disorder.
7. Personality disorders: DSM-5 will maintain the categorical model and criteria for the 10 personality disorders included in DSM-IV and will include the new trait-specific methodology in a separate area of Section 3 to encourage further study of how this could be used to diagnose personality disorders in clinical practice.
8. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will be included in a new chapter in DSM-5 on Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three. PTSD will also be more developmentally sensitive for children and adolescents.
9. Removal of bereavement exclusion: The exclusion criterion in DSM-IV applied to people experiencing depressive symptoms lasting less than two months following the death of a loved one has been removed and replaced by several notes within the text delineating the differences between grief and depression. This reflects the recognition that bereavement is a severe psychosocial stressor that can precipitate a major depressive episode beginning soon after the loss of a loved one.
10. Specific learning disorder broadens the DSM-IV criteria to represent distinct disorders that interfere with the acquisition and use of one or more of the following academic skills: oral language, reading, written language, or mathematics.
11. Substance use disorder will combine the DSM-IV categories of substance abuse and substance dependence. In this one overarching disorder, the criteria have not only been combined, but strengthened. Previous substance abuse criteria required only one symptom, whereas the DSM-5’s mild substance use disorder requires two to three symptoms.
The American Psychiatric Association is a national medical specialty society whose physician members specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and research of mental illnesses, including substance use disorders. For more information, visit the APA at www.psychiatry.org.
