Résumé :
An increasing number of countries have introduced HIV programmes in prisons since the early 1990s. However, many of them are small in scale, restricted to a few prisons, or exclude necessary interventions for which evidence of effectiveness exists. There is an urgent need to introduce comprehensive programmes (including information and education, particularly through peers; provision of condoms and other measures to reduce sexual transmission; needle and syringe programmes; drug dependence treatment, in particular opioid substitution therapy; voluntary counselling and HIV testing; and HIV care, treatment and support, including provision of antiretroviral treatment), and to scale them up rapidly.
