Résumé : | Since the early 1990s, various countries have introduced HIV programmes in prisons. 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; needle and syringe programmes; drug dependence treatment, in particular opioid substitution therapy, provision of condoms, voluntary HIV testing and counselling, and diagnosis and treatment of STIs) and to scale them up rapidly. As part of these programmes, prison systems should provide HIV care equivalent to that available in the community, including antiretroviral treatment. (Extract of the publication) |
