  • Title: The continuing crisis of AIDS in prison.
    Author: Walker J.
    Journal: Posit Aware; 1999; 10(3):40-1, 45. PubMed ID: 11366768.
    Abstract:
    There is growing recognition of the need for improved HIV/AIDS treatment in US prisons. Inmates routinely experience delayed appointments with infectious disease specialists, as well as a lack of treatment information, violations of confidentiality, and are excluded from programs such as work release and food service jobs. This report examines the statistics of prisoners living with HIV, the rates of infection, and legislative and policy changes to help prisoners deal more effectively with the disease. Also discussed are the following five issues facing the millennium regarding HIV in prisons: strengthening education and prevention programs, improving access to medical care, expanding discharge planning, and cultivating the role of former prisoners living with HIV/AIDS.
