Résumé : | Over the last two years, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), together with UNAIDS, have been preparing a policy brief and technical paper on HIV Testing and Counselling in Prisons and Other Closed Settings. The document aims to ensure that incarcerated people are not forgotten by countries during efforts to scale-up overall access to HIV testing and counselling if anything, these individuals are in even greater need of services and support than those in the community. The document acknowledges that access to HIV prevention, treatment and care including key harm reduction interventions remains inadequate in most prison systems. For example, according to IHRAs research, 77 countries around the world have needle and syringe programmes in community settings yet only ten countries have these services in prisons. However, the Policy Brief makes it clear that testing and counselling should never be conducted without the informed consent of the person tested. The Policy Brief is based on a comprehensive review and analysis of the evidence and an extensive consultation process. UNODC and WHO are now encouraging advocated and partners around the world to disseminate the document as widely as possible including to prison departments, national HIV programmes, civil society organisations, networks of people who use drugs and/or people living with HIV, human rights groups, and other relevant stakeholders.
