“…Globally, incarceration negatively affects continuity of care; development of trust; and, ultimately, optimal adherence (172). Incarceration provides a public health opportunity to provide ART to HIV-infected persons; however, barriers to ART delivery and adherence exist (173–175), and unintended ART interruptions sometimes occur after release (176). Key challenges to ART adherence among criminal justice populations include identifying successful strategies for medication distribution that preserve confidentiality and avoid stigma (177–180) and maintaining persistent ART use during transitions from correctional facilities to the community (181–183).…”

Description After HIV diagnosis, timely entry into HIV medical care and retention in that care are essential to the provision of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART adherence is among the key determinants of successful HIV treatment outcome and is essential to minimize the emergence of drug resistance. The International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care convened a panel to develop evidence-based recommendations to optimize entry into and retention in care and ART adherence for people with HIV. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted to produce an evidence base restricted to randomized, controlled trials and observational studies with comparators that had at least 1 measured biological or behavioral end point. A total of 325 studies met the criteria. Two reviewers independently extracted and coded data from each study using a standardized data extraction form. Panel members drafted recommendations based on the body of evidence for each method or intervention and then graded the overall quality of the body of evidence and the strength for each recommendation. Recommendations Recommendations are provided for monitoring of entry into and retention in care, interventions to improve entry and retention, and monitoring of and interventions to improve ART adherence. Recommendations cover ART strategies, adherence tools, education and counseling, and health system and service delivery interventions. In addition, they cover specific issues pertaining to pregnant women, incarcerated individuals, homeless and marginally housed individuals, and children and adolescents, as well as substance use and mental health disorders. Recommendations for future research in all areas are also provided.

“…However, although there is a recognition that access to antiretroviral treatment in prisons can benefit not only the prisoners but also their families and the community, since it can encourage ex-offenders to continue HIV treatment after release shame, lack of infrastructure and the high cost of HIV treatment have become a challenge to be overcome, considering that only 29% of sales of antiretroviral drugs were destined for prisons, according to studies carried out in prisons and correctional systems in the United States [8,14].…”

“…Yet, as superimposed element and an adjunct to favor the spread of HIV in this group, highlights the lack of access to basic health care, especially in developing countries with predominantly one in inadequate health care, devoid of actions aimed at prevention, education, diagnosis and treatment programs in prisons [1,6,9,[14][15].…”

Background: Considering the relevance of discussing AIDS in diferents contexts and groups with lower social support, the objetive of this study was, summarize the scientific production developed over the past decade related to HIV/AIDS in the prison context.Method: the sample consisted of 33 scientific articles linked to the portal journals of Capes, using the descriptors "HIV" and "prisoners", collected in March 2013. In the analysis stage of the articles, we used one specific instrument containing data, such as: article title, year of publication, country in which the research was developed and method. the interpretation of results occurred by the similarity of sub-themes, summarized and compared and presented in the form of frame.Results: there was a higher production between 2010 and 2012, predominantly work in English and quantitative approach. there were settled four main themes: prevalence of HIV/AIDS and co-morbidities; vulnerability/risk to HIV/AIDS; interventions against HIV/AIDS; antiretroviral therapy in prisons: encouraging former prisioners. Conclusion:In general, the complex problem of AIDS is still treated under a look turned to understanding risk behaviors and ways of transmission. the focus remains on the subject actor of acts that exposes to risk without, either, unfold to the social, political and economic in which they develop different factors of vulnerability.

Early diagnosis of HIV and effective antiretroviral treatment are key elements in efforts to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with HIV. Incarcerated populations are disproportionately affected by HIV, with the disease’s prevalence among inmates estimated to be three to five times higher than among the general population. Correctional institutions offer important opportunities to test for HIV and link infected people to postrelease treatment services. To examine HIV testing and policies that help HIV-positive people obtain treatment in the community after release, we administered a survey to the medical directors of the fifty state prison systems and of forty of the largest jails in the United States. We found that 19 percent of prison systems and 35 percent of jails provide opt-out HIV testing, which is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Additionally, fewer than 20 percent of prisons and jails conform to the CDC’s recommendations regarding discharge planning services for inmates transitioning to the community: making an appointment with a community health care provider, assisting with enrollment in an entitlement program, and providing a copy of the medical record and a supply of HIV medications. These findings suggest that opportunities for HIV diagnosis and linking HIV-positive inmates to community care after release are being missed in the majority of prison systems and jails.
