“…The counseling package should also provide information on health facilities which provide ART care so that the prisoner can choose the health facility of their convenience, the address of the destination health facility, and contact details of the health care provider. Randomized controlled trials have reported the benefit of prerelease counseling and adherence support [21,22].…”

HIV Care Cascade among Prisoners of the Mandalay Central Prison in Myanmar: 2011–2018

Prisoners have a higher HIV prevalence and higher rates of attrition from care as compared with the general population. There is no published evidence on this issue from Myanmar. We assessed (1) HIV test uptake, HIV positivity, and enrollment in care among newly admitted prisoners between 2017 and 18 (2) Treatment outcomes among HIV-positive prisoners enrolled in care between 2011 and 18. This was a cohort study involving secondary analysis of program data. Among 26,767 prisoners admitted to the Mandalay Central Prison between 2017 and 2018, 10,421 (39%) were HIV-tested, 547 (5%) were HIV-positive, and 376 (69%) were enrolled in care. Among the 1288 HIV-positive prisoners enrolled in care between 2011 and 2018, 1178 (92%) were started on antiretroviral therapy. A total of 883 (69%) were transferred out (post-release) to other health facilities, and among these, only 369 (42%) reached their destination health facilities. The final outcomes (censored on 30 June 2019) included the following: (i) Alive and in care 495 (38%), (ii) death 138 (11%), (iii) loss to follow-up 596 (46%), and (iv) transferred out after reaching the health facilities 59 (5%). We found major gaps at every step of the HIV care cascade among prisoners, both inside and outside the prison. Future research should focus on understanding the reasons for these gaps and designing appropriate interventions to fill these gaps.

“…Some recent interventions seemed to have favorable impacts: patient navigation program combined with enhanced case management [36], peer navigation intervention [41], telephone contact by a continuity clinic coordinator [42]. However, a recent large study did not show any difference between routine discharge planning and the ImPACT intervention [8,9]. Thus there is a need to identify people at highest risk of interrupting care after release to target them for comprehensive interventions [8].…”

“…The situation in French Guiana was hypothesized to be singular and warrant investigation because of the low density of health professionals, the poverty of a large segment of the population, and the intense migratory movements between low and middle income HIVendemic countries and this French territory with half of the adult population being foreigners. Moreover, although some studies in the USA have suggested benefits for some interventions to improve return to care, a large randomized control trial failed to show any difference between traditional case management and transitional case management interventions [8,9]. This suggest that there is a need to identify people with the highest risk of falling out of care in order to target them for comprehensive interventions.…”

Background: HIV prevalence in correctional facilities may be 2 to 10 times higher than in the general adult population. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption is frequent after an incarceration. This, in combination with post-release high-risk behaviors, may have detrimental consequences on the epidemic. Although return to care after release from correctional facilities has been described in many North American settings, data from South America seemed scarce. French Guiana is the only French territory located in South America. In 2014, HIV prevalence was estimated at 1.2% among pregnant women and oscillated around 4% in the only correctional facility. Method: HIV-infected adults released from the French Guiana correctional facility between 2007 and 2013 were included in a retrospective cohort survey. The first objective was to describe the cascade of care in the 4 years following release. The secondary objectives were to describe contacts with care and to identify factors associated with return to HIV care, 1 year after release. Results: We included 147 people, mostly males (81.6%). The median time before the first ambulatory consultation was 1.8 months. Within 1 year after release, 27.9% came for unscheduled emergency consultations, 22.4% were hospitalized. Within 4 years after release, 40.0-46.5% were in care, 22.4% archieved virological success. Being on ART when incarcerated was associated with HIV care (aIRR: 2.0, CI: 1.2-3.0), whereas being HIV-diagnosed during the last incarceration was associated with poor follow-up (aIRR: 0.3, CI: 0.1-0.9). Conclusion: The risk of HIV-follow-up interruption is high, after an incarceration with HIV. ART supply should be sufficient to cover the timespan following release, several months if possible. Those not on ART at the time of incarceration may require special attention, especially those newly HIV-diagnosed while in custody. Comprehensive programs are necessary to support ex-offenders to stay on ART after incarceration.

“…community health services, prison, prisoners, scoping review virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) (DiPrete et al, 2019;Fuller et al, 2019;Miller et al, 2019). It is estimated that 17% of all people with HIV in the United States will spend time in jail each year (National Center for Innovation in HIV Care, 2017).…”

Aims andObjectives: To illustrate the scope of different types of transitional, community-based health interventions for formerly incarcerated women, trans and nonbinary people, the eligibility criteria for these interventions, and associated health outcomes. Background: Meeting the health needs of formerly incarcerated people in community, rather than through the criminal justice system, may prevent further experiences of criminalization. Research is needed to understand what community-based health interventions have been implemented internationally to inform the design of an intervention in Canada.Design: Scoping review using the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology. Methods:In consultation with a medical research librarian, key databases and journals were searched for English language articles, from any country, with no specified date range. Three authors independently screened titles and abstracts to identify articles for full-text review. The study adheres to PRISMA-EQUATOR guidelines.Results: Thirty-six studies met the present criteria and were reviewed in full text.Method, setting, participants, sample, relevant outcomes and relevant findings were extracted from each study for synthesis. Included studies had varied methods and were published from 1999 to 2020. Thirty-one studies were based in the United States, one in Puerto Rico and two each in Canada and the United Kingdom. The most common health issue focus was human immunodeficiency virus and/or hepatitis c virus. The most common outcome was uptake of offered services, such as a transitional clinic. Conclusions:Gaps in the research pertain to a lack of attention to clinical outcomes and patient experience, and a lack of consideration of sexual and reproductive health concerns. Women were the minority population in all studies that included both men and women; transgender participants were mentioned in only four of thirty-six studies. The specific needs of women, trans and nonbinary people must be taken into consideration.
