“…Because of this, the World Health Organization (WHO) includes prisoners in the key populations that should be the focus of interventions designed to reduce the burden of diseases [16,26]. Currently, for some diseases, there are proven technological resources that facilitate access to the diagnosis, and subsequent treatment, of communicable diseases in low-resource contexts, such as the existence of low complexity rapid tests, which can be applied by personnel with basic training [4,5,11,17,23,24,27,28].
