Abstract: There has long been recognition that individual risk factors can only partially explain vulnerability to HIV infection, and that a broader range of socioeconomic, cultural and political factors must be taken into account. More recently this understanding has been applied to addressing obstacles to accessing HIV treatment. Yet, while structural interventions aimed at contextual factors related to HIV prevention and treatment have been shown to be effective, they have not been widely implemented.

“…“Structural-rights” interventions [29] can complement traditional public health interventions and address criminal justice failures that contribute to overcrowding, and in turn to HIV and TB transmission.
